Michele Bachmann is
still vehemently opposed to same-sex marriage.
The former Minnesota rep, who once dismissed the fight for
marriage equality as "boring," blasted President Barack Obama's
"dangerous policies," including those pertaining to the lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, in an “Understanding the Times with Janet Markell” interview last
weekend.

"When we raise our
fist to holy God and say that we are going to redefine marriage, we are going
to be okay with paying a Planned Parenthood to cut up innocent baby parts and
sell them for research, that clearly is a problem," Bachmann said, according to Right Wing Watch. "As we have seen God
render judgment in the days of Noah, in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah and so
forth throughout history, what the prophets have told every generation is that
there is a just God and the people must repent and turn to him. So, too, in
this day of wickedness in our own culture, we need to do the same."

interview, courtesy of Right Wing Watch, below.
Markell agreed with Bachmann, and went on to
suggest that she and the former Republican presidential hopeful could witness
"the Lord’s literal return" before the broadcast was complete.
Given Bachmann's history,
of course, her comments aren't particularly surprising. Earlier this year, she
predicted that Obama's support of same-sex marriage, as well as his policies on Iran’s nuclear program, would bring about
"the rapture."
“Any nation that accepts
God and his principles is blessed, and those who push away are cursed. That’s
what we’re seeing happen to the United States,” she told Markell in
an April interview. “We will suffer the consequences as a result.”
We'll be waiting with bated breath, Michele!
