Bachmann Nut Case?

During a town hall, 16-year-old Jane Schmidt, the head of her school's Gay-Straight Alliance, asked the famously anti-gay congresswoman how she would support the LGBT community. After Bachmann said that "all Americans have the same civil rights," Schmidt pressed her, even as virtually all the adults in the room broke out in applause in response to Bachmann's reply.

"Then why can't gay people get married?" Schmidt asked. They can, Bachmann assured her, as long as they marry a person of the opposite sex.
