Marcus Bachmann. He's an "ex"-gay, and like so many closet-cases, he is deeply involved in anti-gay politics and spends his time wallowing in gay culture while counseling young gay men to become straight. (much like George Rekers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Rekers and many others: Ted Haggard, Eddie Long, Larry Craig, etc. )
He doesn't have a license to practice, but he found a loophole because the state doesn't require it for what he does. He owns and runs a religious-based psychotherapy clinic that counsels young gay men to pray to become straight and to act more masculine using examples from the Bible. (Hmmm, Jonathan and David come to mind as strong manly examples... oh, wait, they were gay... http://wouldjesusdiscriminate.org/bi..._jonathan.html )
Bachmann has taken hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to fund his pray-away-the-gay clinic. He and his wife spew horrible cr@p about gays. One of the milder things he's said is that gays are "barbarians" bent on the destruction of all of Western society. (And here I thought that 10% of the population just wanted their Constitutional right to equal protection under the law so they could raise their kids and take care of their families...
)
Anyway, a group dressed as "barbarians" tossed glitter around his clinic in protest.
The best coverage is -of course- from European media: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...nn-clinic.html
