This is an old article and evidently a liberal website, but what did this guy expect for his huge campaign contributions to a Tea Party candidate?

If he didn't expect Cruz to change his mind and support gay marriage, what motivated the guy to support Cruz?

Are there any updates to this story?

Pretty much all the big donors are pro gay pro legalization.

Perhaps he’s a businessman who knows liberal social policies are a distraction for their communist takeover.

What if? Just what if? Freedom and liberty meant more than a pet interest.

Gee, a liberal website pointed this out? I mean, once you become “enlightened” you’re not supposed to see things like sexual orientation or race, right?

Oh My! What is a “Purist” to do?

“But...but, my candidate has to be exactly like ME on every detail of every issue, otherwise....He’s a RINO! Get ‘em boys!

This is supposed to alienate the base from Cruz - the media fear him.

Don’t fall for it.

This story seems simply to be an effort by a Lefty paper to stir up trouble for Cruz with conservatives. The pretended ignorance about Thiel is telling. Thiel is well known as a libertarian, going back a decade. He has supported a great many causes that conservatives support, and as a free-marketer, he would have ample motives to support Cruz. That doesn’t appear to have resulted in Cruz embracing (pardon the expression) homosexual causes or marajuana.

So what? Plenty of gay Republicans supported Ronald Reagan. Just another attempt by the “concerned trolls” to peel off the support of the religious wing of the GOP.

Cruz has been trying to figure out ways to stop, gay marriage, for instance DOMA.

Thiel is libertarian and a Ron Paul supporter. I suspect he would support Rand in the 2016 election.

If he didn't expect Cruz to change his mind and support gay marriage, what motivated the guy to support Cruz?

Maybe he thought he would get a honest attorney general?

A quarter of homosexuals are truly conservatives, and know they’re doing wrong.
IMO.

“...Are there any updates to this story?”
************************************************************************************
I’m taking it that, based upon your later comments in this thread, you’re a little disappointed that your posting this is not generating the anti-Cruz backlash you were hoping for.

How are things over in the “Get Cruz” Jihad Headquarters?

Cruz Mega-Donor is Gay, Pro-Pot Billionaire

We are going to see a a huge amount of this type of attempt to SMEAR Cruz.

Tex Trib is a Soros funded rag and carries his water. Anything it says about any GOPer or any conservative is not credible.

All this will do is make the lefties green with envy. It won’t even be a speed bump for Cruz...he’ll use it to his advantage (as only he can do), to turn it around on the leftists who try this cr@pola type of smear.
