A Democratic Party of Wisconsin news release claimed Republican gubernatorial challenger Tim Michels believes gay people shouldn’t be out in public. PolitiFactWisc's fact-check:
The debate was the only specific instance the party was referring to when it made its claim, the spokesperson said.
It’s certainly not a statement friendly to the LGBTQ community. But Michels explicitly said he didn’t mean that they shouldn’t be allowed to be out in public — which directly refutes what the Democratic Party of Wisconsin is now claiming, 18 years later, that he said. Still, Michels has made his personal viewpoint on these issues clear. He opposes same-sex marriage and has slammed his rivals for supporting it,
But the claim that he doesn’t believe gay people should be able to own their identity in public — especially when its one reference comes from a decade plus-ago debate — is an exaggeration.A news release from the Democratic Party of Wisconsin claimed that"Tim Michels doesn’t think gay people should be out in public."
