'Gay'-marriage skeletons pop out of Rubio, Cruz closetsRead
WND ^ | 2/19/2016 | Cheryl Chumley

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-“gay” marriage plaintiffs in the landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges.

Rubio didn’t 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 staffer’s signature, could prove problematic for the public-relations image he’s worked to create as a supporter of traditional marriage...

Eric Teetsel, Rubio’s director of faith outreach, was quick to counter that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s legal counsel, Chris Gober, also signed the brief.

“@tperkins… @tedcruz’s legal counsel is on pg. 51 on the list. Must have missed that,” 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 Trump’s campaign did not sign the brief.

There really is no problem here. Thankfully the pope right before he left said that catholic law makers could allow gay marriage if they felt the need to. The church is now ok with its flock accepting gay marriage. I wonder if the pope said this so he could absolve Cruz and Rubio of any perceived sins. As such the evangelicals in South Carolina will be able to vote for Cruz or Rubio with a clean conscience. With a wave of the wand the Pope has cleansed all the sinners and gay marriage is now ok. Evangelicals can vote with wild abandon and Cruz/Rubio do not have to hide the fact that they were lying about being against gay marriage.

Rubio has been very clear against gay marriage. He has not wavered.

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.

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.
