Was just listening to a clip on YouTube from The Howard Stern radio show, and he mentioned this article from Rolling Stone magazine about the way gay teens are treated in one town in Minneapolis and how that treatment has resulted in a rash of suicides.Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann [R] is affiliated with the ultraright Minnesota Family Council mentioned in the article.The Anoka-Hennepin school board has a policy on the books known colloquially as 'no homo promo', and bullying against gays (even by some teachers) is routinely ignored.It's a long article, but worth the read.One Town's War on Gay TeensIt's a damn shame the way some people are treated. I went to HS in the 80's in Northern MN. Tiny towns with tiny minded people. My very best friend was gay but didn't dare come out. He has suffered greatly from depression his whole life. He is just not finding happiness.Michelle Bachmann is a hateful bitch
