Asked by a Republican gay-rights supporter at a Madison Avenue fundraiser in New York if a Ted Cruz administration would make fighting gay marriage a top priority, the candidate's reply was succinct: "No." Audio of the event, which took place in December, was obtained by Politico's Mike Allen

Terrorism, gun rights and stopping the illegal invasion are more urgent issues.
How many times will this non-story be posted?
I hate to say it, but it’s not.
Thanks to Anthony Kennedy doing anything about this, IF it is even possible, is going to be a years-long slog.
Meanwhile the country is about to go bankrupt and the society is about do descent into balkanized chaos.
You’ve gotta do triage someplace. This issue, as important as it is, won’t make the Top 3.
There is a difference between the sentiments that a STATE should have the purview over the question rather than our Federal Government and saying (what this article implies) “I don’t care about gay marriage.”
Journalistic trickery, diversion and hypocrisy. They are very afraid of Ted Cruz.
I would hope that all of us are realistic enough to see, that the Supreme Court decision was a game changer. This issue can no longer be fought state by state, but must be fought in terms of religious liberty.
The Supreme Court decision will not be overturned anytime soon by a constitutional amendment or another Supreme Court decision overturning their original decision.
So you have to ask , how much political capital should be expended. I oppose homosexual marriage as much as anyone here, but have wondered, what comes next after the Supreme Court has ruled. Clearly the legal landscape on this issue has fundamentally changed.
That's a good start. By Inauguration Day, our federal debt will be $20 trillion.
don’t hate to say it because you’re correct- its not close to some of the major issues we are facing as a nation...
the people who’ll hate this are left wing media- had the leaked audio said fighting gay marriage was the top issue this would’ve been blasted on every headline...
He’s right. Until the Supreme Court is shifted right by the replacement of one or more of the liberal judges with conservative ones, to fight gay marriage is tilting at windmills.
This is beyond hilarious. The media will follow any lead, rumor, innuendo, anything to destroy a Conservative. The Clintons leave a trail of deceit and destruction visible to everyone, but to the media it’s nothing here to see and time to move on.
That's the whole point - counting on people ignoring the actual story content and just use the misleading impression of the headline to be used as a weapon to attack Cruz.
Cruz is right - you deal with it by re-enforcing the Constitution.
I don’t know. The bigger question for me is why is Cruz raising money from gay-rights supporters.
...and what did Trump have to say?
This makes me laugh. Cruz, running as a Constitutional Conservative, makes it clear he would follow the Constitution rather then pander by telling certain interest groups what they want to hear!
I can see where the GOP Establishment would have a gibbering fit like this about a GOP candidate who actually plans to follow his stated principals in office.
Pathetic attempt, even for you.
And the FReepers happily joining in on the media scumbaggery sure look similar from where I sit.
That’s what I like ti hear. Terrorists first, then economy. All those other unimportant things the left is trying to push on us can just wait.
