Marco Rubio: People "born with" sexual preference
CBS News ^ | April 19, 2015 | By REBECCA KAPLAN

Posted on 04/19/2015 10:21:27 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

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."

“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,”

Classic double talk.

Thank you Almighty God, for rooting out those who would continue to bring our Nation down to the very bowels of hell, should they take Office.

Amen!

It wouldn’t shock me one bit if Rubio is laying the groundwork to come out as gay. It really wouldn’t.

...and yet no scientific evidence has ever been found to support their perverted lifestyle choice.

We are born with God’s DNA and God has stated homo lifestyle is so evil, it’s an obamanation.

It’s not rocket science...and the truth is truly settled - satan’s followers simply refuse to accept reality.

There has got to be some new legal illegals he supports that would be happy to bake gay wedding cakes.

When someone can shows me that humans are born for homosexual reproduction, then I will accept the, “I am born this way narrative.”

Marco Rubio is going to need a crane to get him out of the hole he keeps digging for himself. Wow, I wasn’t planning on voting for him but man he’s gone total RINO now. Don’t be shocked if next he sees some validity in the arguments over climate change.

I keep getting emails from his campaign to donate. I’t all I can do to keep from giving into the temptation to go off on a rant. God I hope I don’t have to “hold my nose” again next fall. This is terrible.

Maybe I should write his campaign back and explain how I feel. Politely.

I don’t know if people are “born with” same sex attraction, just like they could be “born with” an attraction to children, or “born with” a propensity to serial murder, etc. We are all born in sin. That doesn’t make sin, morality, nor does it make moral perversion in need of “tolerance” or “acceptance”.
