This, from a woman who is trying to overturn Roe vs Roe (which is the law of the land).

So, according to Bachmann’s "unusual" logic, gay people have the same right to marry as straight people, they just have to be not gay.

There was a time when the laws of the land didn’t allow women to vote, own property, have a job, or run for political, or run for political office.

imho, LGBT people aren’t asking for special rights, they’re asking for the same rights as everyone else.
Strictly speaking as far as some people are concerened and depending on their definition of marriage she may be right .Some people feel that a couple cannot be married untill it's been consumated which quite clearly same sex couples cannot do ,other people feel that it is against gods will for same sex couples to marry .Federal law in America defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman so in that respect she is definately correct .Those few states that do allow same same sex marriage are only at state level and not recognized by federal law so again in that respect she is correct
It is a bit antiquated compared to Europe but it is their law untill it is changed
