Ted Cruz: Gays Should Stop Advocating For Equal Rights Because, ISIS
Ted Cruz spent time with high-value donors in a private meeting Tuesday but was confronted by the media after the event. Reporters asked the 2016 Republican presidential candidate several questions about gay people and same-sex marriage, eliciting a rambling and frustrated response.
"Is there something about the left and I am going to put the media in this category that is obsessed with sex?," Cruz asked, as the Texas Tribune reported. Reporters actually weren't asking about sex, but rather same-sex marriage, which may reveal a clue about Cruz's thought processes on the issue.
"ISIS is executing homosexuals you want to talk about gay rights? This week was a very bad week for gay rights because the expansion of ISIS, the expansion of radical, theocratic, Islamic zealots that crucify Christians, that behead children and that murder homosexuals that ought to be concerning you far more than asking six questions all on the same topic."
Salon labeled Cruz's response "an amalgam of Islamophobia, religiosity, and a not-particularly-sensible shot at the left that included something about The Children."

(3,280 posts)And I don't think about gay sex as much as the rabid anti-gay-rights nutjobs do.
When they hear gay rights, all they hear is "gay sex" and think "Ick!" I'd love to ask anti-gay couples if they just got married for the sex.

Walker, Bush, Christie, Kaisch - they are the ones I'm more concerned about.
