The Family Equality Council, the "lead national organization advocating on behalf of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender families," invited Rep. Michele Bachmann to this weekend's Rainbow Families conference in Minneapolis to "meet the families she is demonizing." FEC criticized Bachmann's statements about LGBT people, particularly in regard to hate crimes legislation.

One statement by Bachmann that the group has taken issue with is Bachmann's testimony on the House floor on the hate crimes bill that became law last year. "But who would be protected? A pedophile, someone who considers themselves gay, someone who considers themselves transgender, someone who considers themselves a cross-dresser? That is who is protected."
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
