Bachmann Staffer: Marriage Equality Could Lead to People Marrying Eiffel Tower

November 22, 2011 by Dan Rafter, Online Campaigns Manager

Tamara Scott, Michele Bachmann’s campaign co-chair in Iowa, is comparing marriage equality to polygamy and says it can lead to people marrying inanimate objects like the Eiffel Tower. RightWingWatch has the video of Scott’s bizarre conversation with Family Leader president Bob Vander Plaats:

This isn’t the first time Bachmann’s campaign has aligned itself with the anti-gay Vander Plaats. Earlier this year, Bachmann and Rick Santorum were the only two GOP candidates to sign the Family Leader’s extremist Marriage Vow – which called homosexuality a choice and a risk to public health.

HRC’s Americans for Marriage Equality is working to ensure same-sex couples can honor their commitment and love to one another.
