LGBT Advocates Send A Message At Bachmann Event

By Alana Semuels December 18, 2011 Reporting from Clarion, Iowa— Protesters crashed Michele Bachmann's meet and greet with voters at a Pizza Ranch restaurant in this small Iowa town Sunday, waving rainbow flags and signs to draw attention to what they say are a high amount on LGBT suicides in Bachmann's Minnesota congressional district.

"I'm very opposed to a lot of her stances on social issues," said Quentin Hill, 18, a University of Iowa student who organized the protest, bringing about 10 friends to sit among the crowd of about 40 in Bachmann's third event of the day, where she shook hands and signed autographs.

In one area, he said, there have been 12 teen suicides in the last two years, and nine have been LGBT students. "Her congressional district has one of the highest suicide rates in the country and over and over again, she's been addressed at events about it, and she has always beat around the bush as to why she hasn't taken action."

As Bachmann passed through the room, shaking hands, signing autographs and exhorting people to vote Jan. 3, the students waited for Bachmann to take questions. When she didn't, they waited outside with two rainbow flags, waving them as Bachmann boarded her big blue bus and pulled away. An older woman, Luann Krabbe, waved a sign that said "gay-friendly iowan," which Bachmann had signed in black pen.

Their suicides are always statistically high compared to the normal population. ‘Gay’ is anything but.

So they oppose her because she opposes a lifestyle that leads so many of their friends to suicide.

That makes sense...

Oh, like that's Bachmann's fault, right?

Stupid Leftists.

Since Barry O is the president of all 57 states, I think he should get some of the blame for these “9 teen suicides” also. You can’t pin it all on Bachmann. These loons need to spend a little time protesting their messiah also.

You can’t pin suicides of individuals on politicians. Sorry, next contestant.

All people who deny their nature and try to live in opposition to their teleological design will be unhappy. That is why it is intrinsically disordered. People who have been traumatized and emotionally and/or physically abused are always at risk. Homosexuals are always abused as young children. There is much higher suicide rates among very confused, troubled, abused children.

For instance: The little 4 year old boy raised by two lesbians tried to cut his pen*s off. This is learned-—a boy is taught to hate himself—the way God designed him from the attitudes of lesbians and the fact that there is no healthy male role model who loves and cares about him.

A very sick artificial abusive childhood. The lesbians should be in prison, but the media glorify them and their now forcing drugs on the boy who is eight now so he will not develop the way God designed him.

Mentally ill people—the “boy” will be too and high on the list of suicide.
BTW, so is Chas—she was molested by a lesbian when she was 11. Her mother and that “friend” and babysitter should be in prison also for destroying the mental health of Chas. She will NEVER be happy—she can’t. She denies her very nature and mocks God.

Depression and suicide runs higher by over 200% in that group than normal people. It comes from a destructive addictive behavior and the rejection of God.

Merry Christmas

I love those Pizza Ranch restaurants in Iowa.

I could live on Iowa beef and pizza.

Anybody know a cheap place to live out there?

I will work for room and board!

Another way to look at this is, gays feel comfortable in her district, so the gay population is higher.

Note that their claim is of a raw number being too high, not a population-normalized one.

How many LGBT suicides are “normal” for these people? What is the number of LGBT suicides in Pelosi’s district, which includes San Francisco?

What if some of the “other” teen suicides were LGBT ones, but the kids never told anyone?

Propaganda and disinformation at work here.

That is true! I forget the numbers but they are a lot higher than the general population.

What kind of action do they think she can do to prevent suicide?

Homosexuals seem to think their feelings of guilt and shame are our fault. In other words, they wouldn’t be suicidal if we accepted their sin (and stopped calling it that). However, it doesn’t matter if everyone said homosexuality is normal and natural. Nature itself would shout the truth.

Homosexuality is a deviant behavior that is at odds with the natural order. It’s literally a dead end. Most homosexuals know this at some level, at that’s why they’re suicidal.

Personally? I think the worst thing to do is try and deny the truth. What’s better? Helping a homosexual understand and overcome their unnatural inclinations or denying those inclinations can be controlled? If you saw a sick man, is it better to try and heal him or simply assure him he’s OK?

Note a slight bias in the SF survey, none of the respondants had committed suicide at the time the survey was given.

Let’s see...what is the rate of suicide among the NON-”gay” population? And, WHY is that? Maybe it has something to do with their “habits?” Moochelle tries to force American’s to CHANGE THEIR unhealthy “habits...”

If Bachman is evil for 12 suicides in two years, what does this link below say about Pelosi?
