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.’”

I don’t even bother to loathe them, I just find them to be disgusting and repulsive.
Kind of like a person who would spread their own feces on their body.
The only thing that really angers me about them is when they cry about AIDS research dollars.
The cheapest most common sense answer to the AIDS epidemic is “don’t go poken your pecker where it don’t belong”.

“She just kept yammering away in hopes of getting him to agree to whatever she was saying, and Cruz was having none of it.”.........

An idiot debating a master, enough said.

While she may act 15, she is nearly twice that age. She is 28, but then so many 28 years olds act like 15 these days.

What are Gay Rights? The right for two sexually-abnormal adults to have orgasms together? There was a law against that?

RE: Never heard of her or the movie.

Just curious, are you a fan of the X-Men movies?

She stars as one of the mutants.

“What we do fear - and rightly so - thus have a visceral reaction to, is their ongoing attack on the innocent minds of our children.”

You are certainly onto something there.

Indeed, I could only make it through about have the content because of the constant come back yammering. She wasn’t listening at all.

Why do we pay any attention to this irrelevant sack of ****? Who cares, outside of her fellow travelers at the Daily Beast? If we can’t post from ‘Infowars’ or ‘Natural News’; the Beast, Slate, Salon, and the Huffington Post should be added to the list.

By the way, Ellen...I don’t like sodomites. You should be institutionalized where you can get some help..

Getting a digital rectal exam from the flight surgeon was the most disgusting painful event of an annual physical. A bunch of us pilots were lined up outside the exam room when the one being fingerwaved shouted “OW!!! What the f*** are you doing up there, TDY!!!?” We quickly shifted to the other exam line with a different doc.

Retired now but went to the urolgist recently. D/R still hurts like s***. And faggies do that for pleasure? Feh.

Our society’s rules are now in faggie override and it’s not good.

RE: I told them any notion that I wanted to have another man’s meatsicle up my bottom was disavowed after a visit to the urologist. It hurts like hell to have something shoved up there.

I’d pay to hear someone like Donald Trump say that in public in response to a gay question... :)

I can just imagine what the response will be like in the western world !!
