Ms. Haberman seems at a lost to understand how Sen.Cruz can have supporters who are homosexual, while at the same time, opposing same-sex marriage. As she is at a loss to explain how these billionaires can support Sen. Cruz. in his campaign. Says more about her than them.

Basic christian doctrine and totally consistent with his opposition to gay marriage.

Weak, NYT. Very weak.

Leftists are at a loss to explain that Conservatices LOVE THEIR CHILDREN, no matter what. We may not like all they are or all they do, but we LOVE OUR CHILDREN. PERIOD.

If one of my daughters was gay, I would love her just as much. However, whether my children face temptations toward homosexuality, toward adultery, or toward theft, I expect them to place God’s law above their personal desires in all life decisions. Among other reasons to defer to scripture, God’s wisdom leads to far more happiness than I have seen among those who choose homosexuality, adultery, or a life of crime.

It’s called class. You don’t insult someone unnecessarily, especially in their own home. Perhaps due to watching people like Mr. Obama , Sen. Reid and Secretary Clinton, they don’t recognize it.

Yup. The Prodigal Son’s father certainly loved him jsut as much when his son was squandering his inheritance on strong drink and loose women.

Did Cruz say “no problem” or “I love my daughter”.

There’s a big difference between the two.

Really, most of us have no problem with gays being “gay” - over there.

Just don’t try to force us to participate in your perversion or fantasy world and we’ll all live and let live.

Leftists define “love” in this instance as “being 100% accepting of and fully embracing said lifestyle.” Anything less than that is “hate.”

Dude, he said he would love her even if she was gay; same with me if my daughter said the same thing.

I would never not love her, but at the same time not agree with her choice.

The assumption by the NYT is that if one is opposed to a particular behavior, that one hates, or at any rate cannot love, any individual who those who engages in that behavior.

They should stop projecting their own psychological and/or theological shortcomings on to Senator Cruz.

I don’t see any problem with what he said, not any inconsistencies with previous statements.

You should probably have your sarcasm detector re-calibrated.
