From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

Marcus Bachmann, who runs Bachmann & Associates Inc. out of clinics in Lake Elmo and Burnsville, said in an interview with the Star Tribune that his treatment business is not focused on converting gays to heterosexuality. He also denied that he has ever called gay people barbarians. ..
He didn’t deny that he or other counselors at Bachmann & Associates have attempted to convert gay patients, but he said it is not a special interest of the business and would only be attempted at the client’s request.
“Will I address it? Certainly we’ll talk about it,” Bachmann said. “Is it a remedy form that I typically would use? … It is at the client’s discretion.”
He said the business mainly treats people who accept religious faith as part of their healing process — typically for depression or anxiety.
“We don’t have an agenda or a philosophy of trying to change someone,’’ Bachmann said.

In the full piece, Bachmann also addresses the charge that he called gays “barbarians,” saying that the quote was taken out of context, and defends his decision to accept Medicaid patients.
