Marcus Bachmann has promised to campaign against gay marriage if his wife Michele is elected US president.
Marcus told an audience in Iowa that he will use his position as “First Man” to coordinate a nationwide campaign focused on the conservative traditional family values, including an anti-same sex marriage platform, the Star Observer reports.
Marcus told the crowd: “I’ve decided my cause is… pro-marriage, pro-family, and pro-life,”
“We’re going to get this message across that marriage is between one man and one woman.
“We’re not going to minimise what the family is, we’re going to promote families.
“Remember, we are not disrespectful or dishonouring of someone who is choosing and being gay in their lifestyle or wanting to be married. That’s up to the churches. But as the government defines marriage as between one man and one woman, that’s pretty universally understood.”
Marcus and his wife Michelle jointly own and run a “pray the gay away” gay conversion clinic, which claims that gays can be turned straight through prayer.
