The unstated assumption here seems to be that a conservative is so prejudiced and biased against gays that they cannot have gay friends or supporters.
Well, I am conservative and DO have gay friends. I just don’t care about what they do in their private lives.
It’s those who try to push their lifestyle in my face that I object to, and I bet that’s how Cruz feels as well.
So?
Are these gay men out shoving gay down other peoples throats?
That’s the real issue for me. That they want to be tolerated, but won’t tolerate people whose values won’t allow them to tolerate it.
I could care less what “most” people do in the privacy of their homes. But bring it out into the open, and trample on thousands of years of tradition, culture, and religion. Then we have a problem.
Hey, NYT, a gay woman mows my lawn, and I oppose gay marriage. Send out a reporter to interview me.
See this is what happens when the left believes their own rhetoric.
I don’t have any more problem with this than I had with Elton John performing for Rush Limbaugh’s wedding reception.
I wouldn’t respect Ted Cruz if he said he wouldn’t love his daughter if she were a lesbian.
I’m not a politician, but on religious grounds, I don’t socialise with homosexuals. I’m a separatist fundamentalist though. I don’t think one of those could ever be elected to anything in this country, but then again, they don’t run for anything.
That Cruz, if elected, will try to be President for all Americans I have no doubt or problem with...
but it is choice whose homes to visit and make part of his campaign,
This was a boo-boo (one of very few for Cruz so far, but nevertheless a mistake)
Leftists really do not understand the concept of love the sinner and hate the sin.
this is a stupid issue and a non-starter with voters, whether it’s Cruz or anyone else.
OMG... Cruz had an event at a gay couple’s house. I guess I got to vote for Squaw Speaking Bull... :-)
So how much money did he get from them?
I don’t care. If they support Cruz then they must agree with me more than a whole slew of straight Hillary supporters.
Good ole Allahpundit. Doing his best to Rino everything up.
I stand with Ted
Don’t care about this article
(This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
I guess this doesn’t bother me any more than it bothered me that Scott Walker said he attended a gay wedding. If they start talking about legalizing gay marriage or that gays have special rights then I’ll be concerned.
This isn’t the first time Cruz has gone into the belly of the beast. He has been booed at events for saying what he believes knowing it will not be popular.
He spoke at a Middle East Conference of Christians and was booed for making statements supporting Israel. He spoke of his non-support for ethanol in Iowa. I myself question why conservative candidates go on liberal talk shows to be interviewed. But they do.
There are Gays who are Constitutional Conservatives and I’m glad they are helping Sen Cruz fundraise.
So?
This is called The Left Being Stupid Again.
To all anti Ted Cruz trolls: pay attention here. You will learn something.
When I ran for the California Assembly I got endorsed by the Log Cabin Republican club.
I told them that I despised their lifestyle but that I wouldn’t sponsor or vote for any legislation that aided their cause but neither would I sponsor or vote for any legislation against them.
Providing they didn’t push themselves on the straight community.
