It’s hard to figure out who’s more antigay between the three leading GOP candidates for President, but Ted Cruz wants potential voters to think Donald Trump is all about the gays.
In South Carolina, a pro-Cruz CPAC blasted the following message in a robocall to potential primary voters after Trump commented about “forward motion” in regards to LGBT rights to a lesbian reporter:
“Stop! What does she mean by forward motion? What is he agreeing to? It’s not about tolerance anymore. It’s about mandatory celebration. It’s about forcing people to bake cakes and photograph gay weddings.
Forcing clergy to officiate, it’s about transgender bathrooms in your child’s school, it’s about tearing down our Judeo-Christian values, it’s about tearing down our America. Ted Cruz for President, before it’s too late.”
Boys, boys, you’re both homophobic!
We’re actually pretty impressed that the call managed to hit every single homophobic panic button in a single minute. Well done, shady pro-Cruz CPAC that wants this lunatic to lead the country, well done.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Trump handily won the South Carolina primary, so obviously the robocall didn’t have the intended effect. Cruz has been pretty steadfast with his homophobia in an attempt to pander to evangelical conservatives, even inviting antigay loon Phil Robertson to speak at a rally, but Trump is trickier to pin down.
He’s admitted to attending gay weddings even though he claims to be against gay marriage, but declared the issue “dead” in light of the Supreme Court ruling. Hell, he’s even got a “gay liberal” supporting him! Then again, last week Trump admitted that evangelicals can trust him to overturn the gay marriage ruling.
Whatever. At this point, we’re not even sure Trump knows where he stands. It’s safe to say that if they’re arguing about who’s more homophobic, they’re unfit to be serious candidates for very many LGBT folks.

Before Trump is done, the damage he will have done to the GOP will take generations to fix. Gotta love whats going on in that party now that the moderates and establshiment have been flushed and all that are left is Trump, baggerz and the Christian Taliban.

I have no doubt the next debate will bring up the subject of how Cubans who come here are treated much differently than the “brown” folks from Central and South America, as in guaranteed welfare, education and almost instant citizenship and are not on the deportation list. I was hoping the latin commentator would have brought it up but its best to wait till the next debate.

@Spike: No it won’t. Trump will be a distant memory by 2020. By 2024 he might be dead. He’s up
there in age. But, no. Trump has not affected Republicans in anyway. George W. Bush didn’t and neither will Trump. It will be BAU by 2020.

I’m enjoying watching Donald Trump kick hispanic homophobe ass and black homophobe ass in polls and elections across the country. It just shows you don’t have to be homophobic in order to be the GOP front runner. GO DONALD GO!
