A candidate for chairman of the Sault Ste. Chippewa Tribe of Michigan says chairman Bernard Bouschor is behind a mailing from an alleged gay and lesbian group.

The mailing from the U.P. Gay and Lesbian Alliance endorses candidate Aaron Payment. It claims he could make gay marriage legal on the reservation if elected chairman.

Payment says he does not support the idea and that he will file a mail fraud claim against Bouschor. The group does not appear to exist.
