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.

[some fag] 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.

To which Cruz replied, "I think you're asking the wrong question. The question should be 'How are we going to protect the explict, Constitutionally guaranteed rights of religious Americans from so-called gay liberation laws that prohibit the free exercise of one's faith?'"

So he can make himself is own gay wedding pizza? Or are they still hunting for Christian pizza-makers to persecute?

“And after that asked when the next gay party was. Ted loves those a lot.”

...and Trump hosts them, but for a price.

Can’t unring the bell... The Bell Tolls for America; she is spiraling down like a world war II plane shot out of the sky. God’s judgement is at hand... best be confessing your sin and getting right with God, for every knee will bow and every young will confess, Jesus is Lord!

Ted should have answered his question with a question:
Should a black baker be required to bake a cake for a KKK picnic?

Lol. So true. And after that asked when the next gay party was. Ted loves those a lot.


Did not Mr. and Mrs. Cruz live apart 7 years? Extremely odd couple here. One suspects they probably had an “arrangement”.

No reports on that but many reports on Ted attending gay parties in NYC.
