STFU Michele Bachmann

Michele Bachmann Defending HPV Vaccine Comments, Gay Marriage Stance, On ‘Tonight Show’ With Jay Leno.

Leno also pressed Bachmann about her views on homosexuality and gay marriage.

“That whole ‘pray the gay away’ thing, I don’t get it,” said Leno, referring to the Christian counseling clinic she owns with her husband.

Bachmann tried to deflect Leno’s question with a joke, pointing to her hair and saying, “When I heard that I really thought it was like kind of a mid-life crisis line, like, ‘Pray away the gray.’”

The joke fell flat.

“It sounds like, if two gay people want to get married, that’s their business, that doesn’t concern us,” Leno continued. “Why is that even an issue?”

“I know gay families that are married, they have children. And they’re wonderful people. It doesn’t seem like they shouldn’t be allowed to be happy. But I’m not going to change your mind on that one.”

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but, good job Jay. America needs people to ask her these questions, and it seems as if very few (outside of comedy programs) are willing to do it.
