GOP Presidential candidate to Marcus Bachmann: "Come out of the closet and debate me"
GOP Presidential candidate Fred Karger has challenged Marcus Bachmann to a debate, here is the text of his letter:

Marcus Bachmann you are convinced that someone can “pray away the gay” and actually own two clinics in Minnesota where you and your 27 therapists actually practice this falsehood. Just last year you referred to gays and lesbian teenagers as “Barbarians, who need to be educated.”

Michele links the acceptance of gays and lesbians to Satan.

There is no place for this type of hate-speak and 19th Century thinking in the current presidential campaign. Michele and you refuse to comment about your past statements and beliefs. America needs to hear directly about where both of you stand on this issue which affects millions of lives.

Marcus Bachmann come out of the closet and debate me.

I will meet you anywhere, any place at any time, even at one of your clinics in Minnesota.

As the first out gay candidate for president, I have first-hand knowledge about a subject which you claim expertise. Let me know if you accept this challenge.

Can I also ask that Karger is allowed into the Republican Presidential primary debates as well?

5. First out gay candidate for President? I believe that was David McRenyolds in 1980.

6. Karger may be the first openly gay major party candidate though
You are correct that McReynolds appears to be the first openly gay candidate but he was not from a major party, I am not aware of any openly gay major party candidates which shows we have a long ways to go.

7. Karger is No less Credible than Cain and They Let Him In
Of course Cain's race probably has much to do with that as it allows republicans to pretend they have some level of diversity in the party.

8. Can anybody imagine a batshit crazy Woman like Michelle as President
with a Closeted First Lady wannabe pray-the-gay-away husband? I shudder.
