Ellen Page (actress) confronts Ted Cruz on LGBT issues
Politico ^ | 8/21/2015 | KATIE GLUECK

DES MOINES — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and actress Ellen Page, of “Juno” fame, got into a testy and free-wheeling discussion Friday over gay rights here at the Iowa State Fair.

“I’m happy to answer your question but not to have a back-and-forth debate,” Cruz told Page, as she pressed him about discrimination against LGBT citizens, approaching him as he flipped pork chops over an open grill. But the two then proceeded to have a spirited exchange over gay rights and whether private businesses — florist companies, for example —can refuse to cater gay weddings in the name of their religious beliefs.

The discussion, which was held in view of reporters and caught on video for Page’s new Vice show, came hours before Cruz hosts a religious liberty rally here in Des Moines, where he will be defending what he sees as that right.

This poor little girl (mentally) had no idea who she was up against. Cruz made Ms Page look like an babbling liberal idiot. He actually got her to agree with him and she refused to admit it.....because she was taping it for her new show. The entire interview will wind up on the cutting room floor.

There’s no other video of the exchange besides that captured by Ms. Page?

I’d have said, what rights? Homosexuals are denied something?

I thought sodomy was just legalized by the SCOTUS.

STFU

Sure, the video in the article was not Page’s video. After Page and her crew leaves Cruz talks about what the debate was really about and that she wanted nothing to do with that.

She was in the movie “Juno” and she came out and said she’s a lesbian. Cruz put her in her place. Cruz put her in her place and turned the tables on her.

Headline is typical Politico. The real headline should be "Sunnyvale Trailer Park Supervisor's Clamlicker Daughter Owned by Ted Cruz".

Never heard of it. The last modern movie I saw was American Sniper. It's good that Cruz put the dike in her place.

Audio isn't great but here's a video from a local tv station, KCCI 8 NEWS.

H/T to Breitbart's Big Hollywood.

Funny thing about Cruz is, he is undoubtedly the smartest candidate. I really do believe he is the only one that can “clear the room” in a debate scenario. I do NOT use the word lightly and I know what it means: Ted Cruz is a genius.

I watched the whole thing.

All I can say is KABOOMZ!

Got her to say that she would basically force people to do things they don't want to do.

Inside of every liberal beats the heart of a Mini-Walter Ulbricht.

Cruz would never get past the RINOs because he can’t sell out to get the money needed to win.

I’m hoping he’s Trump’s VP pick and Trump only does one term.

Cruz would also be excellent for the Supreme Court.

She was also in the movie "Inception". Very good movie, and she does a good job in it.

She does tend to play herself a lot of movies, like most actors these days.

But being able to play oneself convincingly in many movies doesn't really improve one's understanding of religious freedom.

Was this a publicity stunt for Ms Page where all that she really needed to do was to move her lips?

Why is it that most openly homosexual people are anything BUT gay? They, almost every one, is VERY bitter about their lot in life.

and whether private businesses — florist companies, for example —can refuse to cater gay weddings in the name of their religious beliefs.

I don't know about florists or bakers but photographer must intimately work with the couple (including performing at the wedding) to capture an artistic vision focused on the pairing. 2 men or 2 women (often with absent families who refuse to participate) dramatically shift the core of stock poses. Two grooms? No veil, no garter, no 'bride'.

There is a lot to consider. Watch this lengthy lecture on the stock composition ideas of wedding photography.

Back to Basics: Wedding Photography

Not to mention looking through the view finder to capture 'the first kiss' at the wedding.

Why should lawyers be the only workers to be able to refuse a client?
