GAYDAR Withdraws Membership Offer To Marcus Bachmann
Says, When It Comes to Homophobia, Shoot The Messenger!
Gay dating megasite,
Gaydar.net has, sadly, deleted its humorous July 7 post offering a complimentary lifetime membership to Marcus Bachmann, husband of Tea Party-backed right-wing presidential hopeful, Michele Bachmann (R-MN).
“The post was meant in fun, wink-wink,” said a Gaydar HQ rep, “but a few of our PC brethren took issue with our little jab at the Bible-totin’ Bad Seed, accusing us of targeting his ‘
perceived sexuality’ due to, as one blogger succinctly put it, ‘
Bachmann’s “sissiness.”’ Please. Bachmann could be a damn linebacker for all we care. To pick on Bachmann solely for something as banal as ‘gay mannerisms,’ would be idiotically myopic, especially when the big pink elephant cracking our gaydar is the man’s
hatemongering homophobia. When it comes to preaching homophobia, we say–figuratively speaking, of course–shoot the messenger!”
