Speaking on the topic "Does Marriage Matter" at the June 11, 2012 SW Metro Tea Party meeting in Chanhassen MN, state representative Glenn Gruenhagen shared his unflattering opinion of Sigmund Freud: "he started the concept of sexual orientation...he's a pervert, okay. He's a moron in my opinion and I don't believe in anything that he came up with."

The Glencoe pol then moves on to Alfred Kinsey's work; Gruenhagen had condemned sexologist Alfred Kinsey as a "filthy, perverted unscientific liar" whose research needs to be "destroyed" during a hearing in March 2011.

According to Wikipedia, Freud did not invent the concept of sexual orientation, but "derived much of his information on homosexuality from psychiatrists and sexologists such as Richard von Krafft-Ebing and Magnus Hirschfeld, and was also influenced by Eugen Steinach, a Viennese endocrinologist..."

Gruenhagen and Kevin Peterson.who spoke earlier on the program, created the Pro-Marriage Amendment Forum ,"a 501(c)(4) . . . to advocate and educate people regarding the upcoming vote [on a marriage amendment] in November,. . . You can make contributions to that org, but they are not tax deductible. There's a place to donate; all the money is going to be used to cover expenses for getting out the information regarding the upcoming marriage amendment especially in the area of economic benefit to marriage and the consequences to our educational system." (American Independent, February 27, 2012).
