Leading anti-gay group endorses Ted Cruz for Presidential nomination
A leading anti-gay marriage group, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), has endorsed Ted Cruz for the Presidential nomination.
NOM announced that it had chosen the Republican hopeful because “of the urgent need for a marriage champion to emerge from the crowded field and capture the nomination.”
The group is known as adamantly anti-gay, and has campaigned against same-sex marriage since its inception.
Also anti-abortion, the group said there is a “real risk” that “someone like Donald Trump” could win the election, saying it would be “disastrous”. A release also said Trump “folded like a cheap suit” on the issue of marriage.
“We need a president with a proven track record of matching strong principles with concrete action, someone who will champion the fight for marriage, not walk away from it,” said NOM in a release.
US Senator Ted Cruz is currently polling second in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination, and is currently ahead of Trump in the key state of Iowa in some polls.
Last month, Cruz appeared at a rally organised by āDeath to Gaysā preacher Kevin Swanson, who shouted at the event: āYes, Leviticus calls for the death penalty for homosexuals!Ā Yes, the Apostle Paul does say that homosexuals are worthy of death!
āHis words, not mine, and [screaming] I AM NOT ASHAMED! I am not ashamed of the truth of the word of God!ā
Cruz has repeatedly ducked calls to condemn Swanson for his comments.
The candidateĀ has also blamed gay soldiersĀ for low military morale,Ā claimed that trans children are a threat to his daughters, andĀ repeatedlyĀ pledged toĀ void all same-sex weddings.
The Senator is still polling high ā even after heĀ falsely claimed that a shooter who attackedĀ a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado was a ātransgendered leftist activistā.
In case you needed any more reason to dislike him, the Presidential candidateĀ branded actress Ellen Page a āliberal fascistā after she asked him why he opposes LGBT rights.
