A robocall going out to voters the night before the South Carolina primary casts Trump as pro-LGBT.
The clip starts with Trump responding to an LGBT question:
Q: When President Trump is in office, can we look for more forward motion for equality for gays and lesbians?”
A: Well, you can. And look, that’s your thing, and other people have their thing. We have to bring all people together."

At this point, the narrator’s voice, now taking on an incredulous tone, interjects: “Stop. What does she mean by ‘forward motion’? What’s he agreeing to?”

“It’s not about tolerance anymore,” the narrator continues. “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.”
The recording ends with an ominous sign-off from the narrator: “Ted Cruz for president — now, before it’s too late.”

Of course you would, he's a liberal Democrat just like Hillary.

Well, not quite but still better than Cruz. Hillary doesn't seem to be liberal enough for most democrats.

Sounds like a pretty good ad by Cruz's campaign. People need to be concerned by all of the fascist tactics and the aggressively anti-Christian agenda of the Democrat left not only on this subject, but on many others.

This also undermines Trump's claim to be broadly opposed to the left's politics correctness agenda. Clearly Trump's opposition to political correctness is selective and more in line with his "New York Values" than he would like to let on.

What a chaaaarming robocall, bless their hearts.

Now Fürher Trump has to come out with some homophobic tweet to pander to the "good people" of South Carolina.

Amazing how so many people in this country base their entire political philosophy on how much they hate 3% of the population who they probably never even come into contact with. I can never vote for a Republican until they drop the homophobia.

You might change your mind when Hussein Obama forces you to bake a Wedding cake for Adam and Steve. Act before it's too late!!!

My God how ridiculous can this people be.

I don't see why people don't get that Cruz and his cult followers are dangerous. Is inciting the killing of gays "anti-Christian"? See, I don't get that. This has nothing to do with "PC". You'll find the majority of people aren't sitting around waiting for God to give them the word to kill gays or anyone else. They also don't want a Christian theocracy as our government. "Religious liberty" doesn't not mean Christian dominionism. Cruz and his loons need to back off. Separation of church and state is very basic and very fair.

All Republicans are not that way. Cruz and his cult followers blame the gays for the way the world is which is called "scapegoating". I am sure you have heard of Sodom and Gomorrah and Cruz is hung up on that and getting ready for the end of times, the 2nd coming of Christ, things that have nothing to do with our government. Ted Cruz's campaign is fueled by a dominionist vision for America (COMMENTARY) - Religion News Service

I just cannot imagine a Christian would endorse the deceitful behavior demonstrated in his campaign by putting an "X" next to his name on the ballot. Endorsing the behavior means approval. Inasmuch as Cruz claims that people will be punished for approving of SSM, per his cult faith, his followers will be punished for approving of his deceit if they cast a vote for him. Turn about is fair play.

Deceit is a sin. Someone pass Cruz a Bible.

My Mom living at a beach retirement community in SC said she got 32 campaign calls yesterday. Most were from Ted Cruz. She was hopping mad about it.

I think such excess will backfire on Cruz.
