Actress Who Confronted Ted Cruz Over Gay Rights Has More to Say About Him, Mike Huckabee
The Blaze ^ | 09/12/2015 | Dave Urbanski

Posted on 09/12/2015 7:56:47 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

After her surprise confrontation with Sen. Ted Cruz in Iowa last month, openly gay actress Ellen Page sat down with Daily Beast and delved deeper into her issues with him and former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee, as well as her takes on Republicans and religion.

n the interview published Saturday, Page — who’s known for role in the pro-adoption movie “Juno” — said she wanted to talk to the GOP presidential candidate “out of genuine curiosity.”

“I’ve seen multiple videos and read multiple quotes of Ted Cruz discussing gay issues, as well as Mike Huckabee, and it goes exactly as you’d expect,” Page told the Daily Beast. “They don’t answer the question. They say you’re cutting them off when you try to ask the same question again because they’re not answering it, because the reality is that they might be homophobic people. To me, it seems like they’re homophobic people.”

More from Page:

“It can seem comical to people, and people can say, ‘Well, Ted Cruz and Huckabee, they’re obviously not going to be president,’ but no, these people have influence, and there are specific areas and communities where they’re popular. The thing that makes me sad and angry in these situations is, look, anything can be said to me and it’s going to go in one ear and out the other. I’m a very fortunate person—just as a human in general I’m privileged, and as a gay person I’m privileged. But I think of the most vulnerable. I think of kids that are gay growing up in that environment and the level of toxicity and shame, and it’s destructive. It causes a lot of pain. And the ripple effects of intolerance are catastrophic for everybody. Those are the points where it’s like, ‘This is not funny. Stop devaluing our love.’”

Homosexuals tacitly advance the notion the anus is no different than the vagina.

Too bad Ms Page doesn’t recognize the misogyny she’s defending.

She is Canadian. I can’t find any info to suggest she’s an American citizen.

She doesn’t look like a dyke, I’d suggest she try some conversion therapy.

Ms. Page, is it? Yes, well, Ms. Page, it appears that you are a citizen of Canada, and such being the case, you must know that your opinion on any American presidential candidate is utterly valueless, and a complete waste of our time.

You are now dismissed, Ms. Page.

I’m not running for president so I can say this:

I am sick and tired of hearing about how gays feel and that anyone who doesn’t accept their way of life is mean, destructive, not understanding, any other ridiculous adjective you can think of, and, enough.
I have lost two wonderful, handsome nephews to aids and without their being coerced into the life, their deaths would not have happened.
I have no sympathy nor empathy with that movement.
In reality, who is really destructive and mean.

As for “might be homophobic”, homophobia is the last defense of the scoundrel these days.

The second to the last, actually. The last is, "You haven't yet come to terms with your own latent homosexuality." I know of no other group who so regularly accuses those who disagree with them as being one of them without admitting it.

From Wiki, looks like she hits all the left’s issues:

“In 2008, Page was one of 30 celebrities who participated in an online ad series for U.S. Campaign for Burma, calling for an end to the military dictatorship in Burma.[43] She describes herself as a pro-choice feminist.[44] She attended Buddhist school in her youth and practiced meditation and yoga.[45] She practices a vegan lifestyle, and PETA named her and Jared Leto the Sexiest Vegetarians of 2014.[46] She is an atheist.[47]”

No Ellen, you are rebelling against God’s plan for your life, and it is causing internal conflict between your spirit and your flesh. Your dissonance is manifesting in a desire to force people to affirm your lifestyle choices, and you get angry when they don’t. What you crudely refer to as “our love”, is nothing more than carnal pleasure, a crude imitation of what Love Himself intended for His Creation, a rebellious perversion of God’s perfect plan for a man and woman to be permanently joined together into one complete person, with Christ as the Head.

Christians do not hate you. They want you set free, so you can fulfill God’s wonderful plan for your life. Sin is bondage. And Jesus Christ, the Living Word, will set you free.

This 28 year-old, 5'0" twitty litle gnome lesbian resides and votes in socialist Canada...i.e....Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Who cares what she says or does?

On the Richter Scale of importance to this world she's a -5.

Cruz was certainly over-generous in giving her his valuable time of day.

It’s a lot easier for her to make her argument when Cruz isn’t there to state his position. She looked like a fool.

I couldn’t tell her from a fish market and I don’t care what she said to our next president.
