Ted Cruz Wishes America Would Focus A Little Less On *******, A Little More On ISIS

I'll take "false equivalency" for $500 Alex


Ted Cruz Wishes America Would Focus A Little Less On Buttsex, A Little More On ISIS


(is it my imagination, or does he look ever creepier than usual here?)

Definitely nothing sexy on his brain.

America, you have GAY SEX ON THE BRAIN. You are thinking about it right now, in fact! How else can Ted Cruz explain why everybody keeps asking him about things like “gay marriage” and “equality?” It’s obviously because The Liberals (read: everybody to the left of Ted Cruz’s dad and Genghis Khan) are just too busy thinking about guys boning each other to focus on the important stuff, like ISIS:

“Is there something about the left — and I am going to put the media in this category (awww, isn't that cute??? emphasizing the "liberal" media) — that is obsessed with sex?” Cruz asked after fielding multiple questions on gay rights. “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.”

. . . . .
Of course, Ted Cruz is not the first to say this. Pissant little Baby Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas recently spoke along similar lines, saying that US American gays should be totally grateful, because over in Iran, they hang the homosexuals, and Tom Cotton knows that, because he is an Iran Expert.

. . . .


In the same exchange with reporters, Cruz also said that “mandatory gay marriage” is really murdering all the Christians’ religious freedom dead, in America. We were not aware that American gays were the Real ISIS, because they are forcing unwilling Americans into gay marriages (maybe Cruz read this piece from The Onion), but since we obviously are, how about we force Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton into a mandatory gay marriage? They would be SO great for each other, and they could consummate their marriage with a good old round of FREEDOM-boning! How’s that image in your head go with your lunch, Wonkers?

...Obsess about gay sex way more than any gay person I've ever known.

I wonder why they do that.

Man there is something really weird about the way Cruz looks at us.
There's that moment you just realize you're staring into the eyes of satan.
He's got an evil soul.

That meme needs to die! Yes, there are closeted GLB people who "obsess" on GLB issues because they are in denial, but most homophobes are simply hate-filled shitheels who aren't anymore gay than I am straight, which is to say not at all! Are racists secretly desiring to be black? Misogynists really desire to be a woman? Anti-Semites are just dying to be Jews? No, though it may be the case for a few and while it is more likely for some homophobes to want to be honest with their own feelings, much of homophobia is about hate, not desire. Straight people need to "own and accept" their haters and stop claiming they really are one of those ones they hate!

Not all of these homophobes are closeted gays. I think that it's best to save that particular title for those who are revealed in some way to be… As you know… Hypocrites. Like that one preacher who was caught with a rent-boy or some such.

Accusing all of these people of being closeted gays only serves to take away the responsibility of homophobia away from bigoted straights and onto the targets of those who are the homophobes' targets.

I think that a better study of general systems of privilege would be more instructive.

More red states watch porn, so he's at least talking to his own nutty people.

I bet Cruz and Rudy Ghouliani go out in drag together in the streets of NY. Undercover of course.

I know "cutesy" titles like this are meant to poke a finger in the eye of the right, but it really does poke a finger in our eye too, especially gay/bi men. Cruz is a dolt, but someone of what he says does ring throughout all sides of the political spectrum. GLB rights are conflated with what we do in bed not who we are. I also love it when people like him (i.e. homophobic assholes) feign care about GLBT people, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy...oh wait, that is my housecoat! Well, it is as at least intelligent as Cruz.
