Ted Cruz answers question from gay republican business owner

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a candidate for president of the United States, appeared on a live town hall on Good Morning America on ABC. Among the various issues that the senator discussed, a caller brought up the subject of same-sex marriage and religious liberty. The caller, a gay man named Todd Calogne, who identified himself as a registered Republican, owner of a pizza parlor, and married to his partner asked Cruz how he proposed to protect the rights of gay Americans from so-called religious liberty laws that he suggested discriminate against gay people.

And then, the two of them jumped on to their pet unicorn, and rode off into the sunset.

Gay? Sure. "Married"? Whatever. Small Business Owner? Fair Enough. Republican? Ehh....... And he gets to ask questions of a conservative candidate in a national forum? Color me skeptical. Smells like a trap.

“Other people have rights too. Stop being so self-centered. You’re not the only one in the world, so STFU.”
Too bad he didn’t say that.

The only reason there are Religious Liberty Laws popping up is because People of Faith have been discriminated against by the same People who say these new Laws will discriminate against them.

Action, Reaction. It's Physics.

The world is upside down....religious liberty laws protect the religious from being discriminated or targeted by sodomites....

Naps, you're really a classy guy, but you're doing a poor job of covering up your latent homosexual desires and tendencies.

Homosexuals have identical rights as heterosexuals.

Persons who are skilled at brain surgery have the identical right to a license to perform brain surgery as persons who are not skilled at brain surgery.

Persons who prefer fishing for trout in Thursdays have identical rights to fishing licenses as persons who prefer fishing for bass Tuesdays.

A homosexual can marry any adult person of the opposite sex, not closely related, as he desires. And only one at a time.

Could have told him to just act normal & not make a big deal out of his sexual preference.

You’ve got that right! The sodomites and all the depraved ‘progressive’ groups just keep pushing their agenda incrementally, one small ‘victory’ for them after another. It’s not that they don’t want to be discriminated against for sticking their penis in a butt hole, but rather they’re saying “you ARE going to accept and tolerate our behavior” under the rule of law!

I saw the exchange. Cruz is a class act. Few republicans if any can handle the liberal media gotcha questions like Cruz can with smile I might add.

“Could have told him to just act normal & not make a big deal out of his sexual preference.”

Now that would just be too easy. No, the sodomites define themselves by their sexual depravity. It’s not that they just “love” each other, that’s not sodomite. For even the Bible states that there is no greater love one can have for his brother than to lay his life down for him (something like that), but a sodomite’s whole identity is based upon their sexually depraved actions, and most all their complaining is about seeking others to accept and tolerate their acts in an attempt at justification.
