Four anti-gay Republican politicians form a delegation that will attend Lady Thatcher’s funeral on Wednesday (17 April).

The delegation is lead by two anti-gay Republican members of the US Congress.

John Boehner, the speaker of the House of Representatives, who is a staunch opponent of gay marriage.

As well as Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, who spearheaded an attempt to overturn marriage equality in Washington, D.C. and co-chaired the committee that drafted the 2012 national Republican platform, considered the most antigay in history.

Poet Sierra DeMulder eviscerates anti-gay Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann during her performance in the Women of the World Poetry Slam.

DeMulder, a finalist in the competition, delivered a powerful spoken word performance that focused on the congresswoman's anti-gay rhetoric and the work of her husband, Marcus Bachmann, with an 'ex-gay' clinic in Minnesota.

No one would ever accuse Rep. Michele Bachmann of being shy about speaking her mind. The Minnesota politician has a history of making controversial statements, especially when wading into the world of LGBT issues. She's described being gay as 'personal enslavement' and is certain gays and lesbians are after children.

'It is our children that is the prize for this community,' the Republican once said.

When Gay Star News caught up with Truth Wins Out founder Wayne Besen last week, California Governor Jerry Brown had not yet signed a bill into law that bans so-called 'conversation' therapy that attempts to turn gay kids straight.

But Besen seemed so confident that Brown would make California the first state in the US to have such a law, that he was already looking to other states.

A Barack Obama impersonator has ‘married’ lookalikes of Mitt Romney and Donald Trump for a new marriage equality campaign.

The adverts also show lookalikes of far-right politicians Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin tying the knot.

The humor may have been lost on some people, as the campaign was banned in California and other states in the US.

Greg Hodge, CEO of Beautiful People, told Gay Star News that as long as all of his members cannot enjoy the same benefits and recognition of their fellow citizens, he will be campaigning for marriage equality.

In a radio broadcast last week, Howard Stern refered to U.S. politicians Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum as 'the two worst people on the planet' for their aggressively anti-gay rhetoric.

American radio personality Howard Stern may be better known as a 'shock jock' for his outspoken ways and on-air antics, but he showed a surprisingly sensitive side this week when it comes to gays.

Daniel Radcliffe is speaking out against the anti-gay politics of those vying for the Republican nomination for president.

Radciffe, whose new film The Woman in Black opened strong at the U.S. box office over the weekend, says he is  'disgusted, amazed, stunned’ by the rhetoric of Rick Santorum and of former candidate Michele Bachmann.

Before dropping out of the race to become the Republican nominee for president, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann made no secret of her opposition to LGBT equality.

So it's somewhat surprising to find out that when Bachmann met Darren Criss, who plays one of the highest-profile gay roles on television, she was eager to get a photo with him.

GOP Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann faced questions about some of her past anti-gay statements during a live television interview on the morning of today's (3 January) Iowa Caucuses.

Appearing on CNN, anchor Soledad O'Brien asked Bachmann if she was pulling back at all from a 2004 statement she made at an education conference saying 'gays live a very sad life,' and that 'it's part of Satan.'

Bachmann told O'Brien that her line of questioning was 'a bizarre thing to bring up.'

The only constant in the Republican primary is that most of the candidates have enjoyed, and lost, a surge in the polls.

In early summer Rep. Michele Bachmann, after her win in the Iowa Straw poll, was the flavor of the month. This past fall,  pizza man Herman Cain vaulted to the top tier.  Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the  House,  was briefly  the leader of the pack. Now, with the caucus only days away, Sen. Rick Santorum is riding a wave of support.

Michele Bachmann has been challenged at times about her anti-gay views while campaigning in Iowa - but never before by a 'gay robot.'

The Republican presidential hopeful made a stop at Hamburg Inn in Iowa City on Thursday (22 December) and was immediately confronted by a man in a silver robot suit as she stepped off of her campaign bus.

'Michele Bachmann, I am a gay robot,' the man told Bachmann who smiled, but looked confused. 'Do you support equal rights for gay robots?'
