Cruz is all sound and bluster signifying nothing. All weasely talk.
Porn needn’t worry, Cruz has already let it be known to gay donors that gay marriage wasn’t in his top priorities. Of course, as usual, this was said behind the scenes and caught on tape.
Then you’ll have a link, right?
The libertarian streak is pretty strong in Cruz. He is an evangelical and is at home standing up in churches, but he has not run a traditional Bible-waving social issues campaign. His big issue in this area is religious liberty, which is a different matter. The left is hell-bent on eradicating any lingering vestige of traditional Judeo-Christian sexual ethics in the public square and forcing all institutions and businesses to conform to a radical new orthodoxy. Cruz is fighting for the right to be left alone, which implies the right for religious conservatives to build a viable counterculture, including businesses, schools, hospitals, universities, charitable organizations, etc. that adhere to traditional norms.
I don't think most people on the left understand, or care about, this distinction. They think they have finally gained the upper hand, and they are determined to enforce total compliance. It might be possible to reach a settlement along live-and-let-live lines, but the radical intolerance of the left has to be defeated. That's the Cruz issue.

But with Trump it’s all out in the open. We’ll have pervs in our bathrooms and he’s all for it.
