"Unfortunately she is now suffering from breast cancer, so keep her in your prayers... This may be an opportunity for her now to be open to some spiritual things, now that she is suffering with that physical disease. She is a lesbian."
- Michele Bachmann (to EdWatch, a Christian education group; from Mother Jones)
"Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders." - Michele Bachmann (The Daily Mail)
