Rich Beeson, a deputy campaign manager for Sen. Marco Rubio, is causing a bit of a stir among the conservative evangelical crowd after reports surfaced he signed a petition pressing the U.S. Supreme Court to side with the pro-âgayâ marriage plaintiffs in the landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges.
Rubio didnât sign the brief, which staffers with other Republican presidential campaigns, both past and present, have also signed. But Rubio, according to LifeSite News, has other ties to homosexual activists that, when combined with his campaign stafferâs signature, could prove problematic for the public-relations image heâs worked to create as a supporter of traditional marriage...
Eric Teetsel, Rubioâs director of faith outreach, was quick to counter that Texas Sen. Ted Cruzâs legal counsel, Chris Gober, also signed the brief.
â@tperkins⦠@tedcruzâs legal counsel is on pg. 51 on the list. Must have missed that,â Teetsel tweeted.
The Christian Post reported Friday that Ted Cruz for President paid over $245,000 to the campaign strategy firm Targeted Victory in 2015. The president and senior director of the firm, Zac Moffat and Abe Adams, were also signatories.
The Obergefell case heralded in same-sex marriage rights around the nation, over the opposition of even states where voters had made clear they wanted to keep the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman...
Members of Donald Trumpâs campaign did not sign the brief.

Rubio has been very clear against gay marriage. He has not wavered.
Then why did his representatives sign a pro gay marriage amicus brief!
Yea if you truly believe that then fair enough, built then look at his past and donors.
Rubio has been very clear against gay marriage. He has not wavered.
The only reason that Rubio would be against homo marriage is because he fears his boyfriend would propose to him.
( Not that there's anything wrong with it! ;-)
Since when do Evangelicals take orders from a rogue pope?
“With a wave of the wand the Pope has cleansed all the sinners and gay marriage is now ok. “
Except for those that still follow the Bible. Apparently it’s being banned at the Vatican.
Well documents do not lie. The signatures of his representatives are on the amicus briefs. What the hell are they doing there?
Love that cap!
Where did the Pope say this?
Freegards
I will believe what I hear from Rubio before I believe what I read from WND.
Maybe that is why Cruz took those hundreds of thousands of dollars from those gay businessmen in New York. In return he pushed gay legislation.
Not only that, but Rubio’s statement after the SC ruling was really, really weak sauce. And one of his biggest donors is that Paul Singer guy, who was RABIDLY pro-fag marriage. I don’t trust Rubio one tiny inch on this issue. Or any other issue, for that matter, after participating in one of the most egregious political betrayals I’ve ever witnessed, when it came to amnesty.
