The backlash continues to rage in the gay community over OUT NYC Hotel owners Ian Reisner and Mati Weiderpass meeting with GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, who is strongly opposed to same-sex marriage.
Weiderpass was kicked out of Fire Island Pines venue Sip-n-Twirl on Sunday after he was confronted by furious patrons over his affiliation with Cruz.
Customer Evan Lobel said, “One guy got up and asked him what the rationale was to have dinner with Cruz. They got kind of heated and before you knew it, there was a lot of people yelling.” We’re told owner P.J. McAteer asked them to leave the bar and threatened to call police.

but I wonder how many are solidly decided. or if it would not be that hard to snap them back to reason on such an obviously absurd issue.
They are basically lost until they watch a friend die of AIDS. Too far gone to do anything but write off at this point. Lost generation.
It's Magic
The Gaystopo don’t want to hear the truth anyway. They want to hear the party line.
It would be good if I could fly, and I probably have more chance of flying than getting the federal government out of the decision making process.
my mother took care of them as a volunteer retired nurse. says it was awful. but she’s against gay marriage so she is still evil /s
now the pills keep them alive but they are getting dementia in their 40s instead.
good point. but if that is the case, we are no longer a republic. I don’t know how the fed govt got so huge. what a shame.

I want you to show me according to the constitution, where the constitution itself is wrong. Because all your verbage aside, thats what your position comes down to - denying what the Constitution and Cruz said unambiguously.
If I am wrong, we have ALL misread the Constitutions clear words for over 200 years.
I think you are being obtuse. You really believe that the Founding Fathers were gay rights activists?
What does that have to do with anything? The Const. is clear whether its gay ‘rights’ marriage or goldfish sales. If the Constitution doesn’t cover the topic, it’s up to the staes to legislate or not at their discretion. Period. End of. Done. Does the Const. say differently?
No.
Thats the why it is. There is nothing to argue or be obtuse about. Your dislike of Cruz does not change the wording, nor ammend the Constitution on the matter. It says clearly what it says.
Heterophobes...
You can always judge a man by his enemies.
Cruz has all the right enemies :)
Even here on FR. Every one of these people either voted Romney, Demanded others abandon principle and vote GOP no matter what or called for lesser evil voting or an analogue term for it.
Without exception. One of the three. Cruz, who stands behind his beliefs even when others disagree, flies in the face of that. Ergo he is a hated purist.
Joke post?
Exactly how do you propose that Ted Cruz stop gay marriage in a blue state like New York? Under present circumstances Ted Cruz’s position on the matter makes sense.
Meanwhile your assertion that somehow Ted Cruz secretly supports gay marriage is laughable. The gay Gestapo wouldn’t be waging an unrelenting jihad against Ted Cruz if your assertion were even remotely close to being true.
The “gaystapo” turns on their own...
This is a totalitarian mindset, pure and simple, folks.
It is. But it’s good. They will destroy each other as history shows they have and will again. We just have to stay out of the way and watch them do it.
I didn't say he could. But can he stop it anywhere. Would he stop it anywhere.
Under present circumstances Ted Cruz’s position on the matter makes sense.
How does it make sense? In a few weeks the Supreme Court is going to nuke that whole line of thinking. What then? It makes no sense to parrot a line that died three years ago.
Meanwhile your assertion that somehow Ted Cruz secretly supports gay marriage is laughable.
I didn't say he secretly supports gay marriage. I said his verbiage on it is a cop out. It's an indefensible position and he knows it. I have no idea what he really feels about gay marriage, but his "position" on it tells me that if he is elected he's not going to do anything to defend traditional marriage etc. I don't know if he could do anything to defend it if he gets elected. Maybe it's to late. His pseudo-cutting-the-baby is the kind of cynical excuse that's common to politicians, so I am not especially beating him up for that. But I don't see how it makes him some great defender of social conservatism. Sorry, his language doesn't make me think he will defend social conservatism. And maybe he's just being realistic. But what do you think he's going to do to defend traditional marriage if elected?
The Republican party has dropped all but the thinnest veneer of social conservatism.
