Marco Rubio: People "born with" sexual preference

Marco Rubio said he believes that sexual preference is decided at birth, but still believes that states should be able to decide if they want to define marriage as anything other than involving a man and a woman.

"It's not that I'm against gay marriage. I believe the definition of the institution of marriage should be between one man and one woman," Rubio said in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation." "States have always regulated marriage. And if a state wants to have a different definition, you should petition the state legislature and have a political debate. I don't think courts should be making that decision."

"I don't believe same-sex marriage is a Constitutional right," Rubio added. "I also don't believe that your sexual preferences are a choice for the vast and enormous majority of people. In fact...I believe that sexual preference is something that people are born with."

Rubio sparked a debate on the issue last week after he said in an interview with Fusion's Jorge Ramos that he would attend the same-sex wedding of a gay family member or staffer even if he would "disagree with a choice they've made."

How can any Republican primary voter go for this weasel?!

He is 4 O’s amnesty and will continue it. He is 4 no border. He is 4 carbon control.

I didn’t think any GOP guy could be worse than Jeb. Must be the Flada swamp gas.

Yes, but you do not call someone in authority over you a liar publically you talk to them in private.

Laws can’t be changed by magic no matter what Trump detractors believe. No one is going to put LGBT back in the box, not even Cruz. Trump isn’t about to pretend he can like some of his opponents do.

Many Christian churches are preaching “tolerance and compassion” for LGBT issues now. What about them Cruz supporters?

Rubio is no differnt than most of the political whores.

Nobody knows what they are hiding until they want to adavnce.

This applies to the whole lot of them. Some are just too ambitious to wait their turn.

Hence they get caught with foam all over their face.

Not an expert, doesn't take much to sense when a picture is posted multiple times....

I’ll tell you what, when you see a pic on a thread send mail to let the poster know you’ve seen it, and when all the posters have reported in the posters will stop posting it.

in other words, a single thread doesn’t always do it and it is appropriate on the posted threads, get over it.

The only group that has authority over Cruz are us Texas voters.

BS, a like of respect is one reason he can’t win. No one will stump for him in the general.

Haha re those foam extravaganzas. That’s why Christi keeps calling him Bubble Boy. I wonder if he’ll call him that tomorrow night at the debate. Christie is obviously tuned into the rumors.

That's right, speaking truth to power is only for democrats.

Having delicate sensibilities has worked so well for us recently, don't you think?

Cruz will never win calling the senate leader a liar publically. You may think that is funny and cool. It isn’t. There are ways to get things done without alienating people you need to be successful.


I see. So what has Rubio “gotten done” in his beltway career other than the Gang of 8 amnesty bill that he successfully navigated through the U. S. Senate.

Not much. No one did anything. That is why we need change.
