So what does Cruz suggest we do with gay people?
How about not giving them special rights based on a chosen lifestyle?
Quotes below are from the Human Rights Campaign, format it yourself if you wish:
"Ted Cruz: Not a Fan of Pride Parades
Whether the issue is marriage equality or critical protection from discrimination, Texas Senator Ted Cruz has consistently opposed equality for LGBT Americans. And he’s gone even further, attacking fellow Republicans for marching in pride parades, warning of the threat of “mandatory gay marriage†and calling 2016 the “religious liberty election.†He has vowed to make his opposition to LGBT equality a centerpiece of his presidential campaign, and he has thus far lived up to that promise.
Marriage: As Solicitor General, Ted Cruz led the charge to deny Texas couples marriage equality. In the Senate, he has supported a constitutional amendment that would prevent the federal government from recognizing marriage equality and an amendment placing members of the Supreme Court up for election. He even said that Justice Anthony Kennedy should resign and that the Obergefell ruling threw the Supreme Court’s “very legitimacy into question.†He has said a ruling in favor of marriage equality was “fundamentally illegitimate.†Cruz has promised to campaign “front and center†on his opposition to marriage equality.
Discrimination: Cruz has consistently opposed granting critical nondiscrimination protections to LGBT Americans. Cruz has opposed both local ordinances that would have protected LGBT people in cities in Texas, and ENDA’s explicit federal workplace protections. Cruz has said “2016 will be the religious liberty election†and defended harmful discriminatory legislation in Indiana and Arkansas. Cruz stood behind Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, and said he would “absolutely†push for enactment of the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) in his first 100 days in office. Executive Orders: Cruz has said that undoing President Obama’s executive orders would “absolutely†be one of the first things he would do if elected, and said that every protection Obama put in place “can be undone in an instant by the next president through the same mechanism.â€
Conversion Therapy: Cruz has refused to speak out against “conversion therapy†that coerces minors into “treatment†that can lead to depression and suicide. He believes that being LGBT is a personal choice.
Harmful Rhetoric: Cruz has no problem about using equality as a wedge issue against fellow Republicans – he’s attacked Republicans for appearing in pride parades, and having “New York values†such as supporting LGBT rights, and suggested that he believes being LGBT is a “choice.†He’s called letting kids use the bathroom that reflects their gender identity “lunacyâ€. Cruz has claimed that the Obergefell ruling would lead to “mandatory gay marriage.†He even bragged about intervening in a case to stop a civil union."
Stop giving them special legal accomodations and leave them to keep their “bedroom” behaviors where they belong.
Put them back in the closet?
Gay people? People who ARE gay?
“Gay” is not an identity, neither is it gay. Homosexuality is a BEHAVIOR. A behavior that is a choice, that is unhealthy and is Wrong.
People who engage in that chosen behavior need help, need to hear, unequivocally, that it is wrong and to stop.
I like to know that too.
How about not recognizing their so called gay marriage?
One more piece of evidence Trump is a NY leftist pretending to be conservative to run in Republican primary.
To the cultists though, it won’t matter.
Trump can do no wrong.
If Trump tomorrow declared to be a Muslim, the cultists would all follow suit and become Muslim.
It’s worse than Obama 2008, and we all laughed at that.
So what does Cruz suggest we do with gay people?
Take their money and stuff it in our pockets.
But the article is about Trump, why not deal with that instead of deflecting to Cruz? I thought FR was supposed to about discussion but I'm just not seeing it during this primary cycle.
No, I'm not for Cruz, yet, or Trump, yet. What I am is definitely against rubita, jebita, and the rest of still running. What I am looking for is some honest debate about Trump and Cruz instead of the flaming from both sides.
Luke 17
Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3 So watch yourselves.
"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him."
What do the words Rebuke / Repent / Forgive mean in today's RINO NewSpeak dictionary?
I'm pretty sure Cruz knows what they mean in the context of Luke 17.
From Ted Cruz himself (re: gay marriage): Marriage is a sacrament between one man and one woman. It is the building block of civilization and has strengthened societies for millennia. As a constitutional matter, marriage has traditionally been left to the states, and we should protect the rights of elected state legislatures to define marriage consistent with the values of their citizens.
It would seem, from everything Cruz ever says, and the stance he takes on most social issues, that Cruz wants to leave the whole “gay issue” thing, up to the states to decide, and has stated plainly (and rightly so), that the Federal Government has no business in those affairs (no pun intended).
Well, Cruz does not want transgender men going and peeing in women's bathrooms in front of little girls for starters.
What does tRump think about that? tRump thinks it is OK
Subject change 101.
Not validate their positions and force them down everyone’s throats. Not make laws that force straight people to have to kowtow to them...like bakeries, etc. Like not providing marriage to an unnatural situation.
