He is an extremist religion fanatic who would persecute and oppress anyone who goes against his religious beliefs.
Non-Christians - such as Jews and Buddhists, Agnostics and Atheists, pro-Choice folks and especially people in the LGBT community .... BEWARE !!!
With the LGBT stuff what he wants to do is kick it back to the states, where he feels it constitutionally belongs, and strictly speaking he is correct. However, like the anti-abortion stuff, it will be difficult for a president and/or congress to reverse those changes because they occurred through judicial legislation.

People's rights don't belong to the state. That's a federal matter.

There was no judicial legislation for Gay marriage. What the court said was that it is unconstitutional for states to create laws that that prevent Gays & Lesbians from getting married, and all those state laws were invalidated. The issue is settled, the only way to change it now is to amend the US Constitution.
Cruz is simply pandering to certain elements of his base, knowing that he won't have to do anything about it. Cruz wants to take the GOP back to the dark days of say ~2004-2005 when nutcases like Santorum, Frist, and others were using the Congress as a morality police to interfere in people's lives. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Govern...i_Schiavo_case
We all know that it is not practical or fair to "kick" SSM back to the individual states. We all know, or I hope we know, how that worked with racially mixed marriages and it didn't work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loving_v._Virginia (If you all ever have the chance, watch the documentary on this as it is excellent.) We have a very mobile society and it just won't work.
Plus, if Cruz's main objective was to follow the Constitution, what the heck was he doing at the "kill the gays" conference which they termed "religious"? He wants to ready the US for the "end of times" and is all hung up on the "gays" being the "problem". "Killing the gays" is based on the Old Testament and the story of "Sodom and Gomorrah".
As I said before, SSM has no victims like those Ted creates with his deceit and most likely adultery. We have seen his continuous lying and I truly believe the horror of his looks and voice are simply a mark of the evil that he is.
I came this article and please note that Ted Cruz's CAMPAIGN has said it was a mistake for Cruz to attend. Cruz has not said this. With his determination to turn the US into a Christian theocracy: Ted Cruz's campaign is fueled by a dominionist vision for America (COMMENTARY) - Religion News Service, I guess it is a necessity in his mind to eliminate the gays to please his "god". Total cult and we know the harm of the cult mentality. All one has to do is google "Kevin Swanson" and see what he is and Cruz, by association is no better. Cruz did not denounce the endorsement of Kevin Swanson.
As a Cruz supporter, is this what you stand behind? Cruz was here and accepted the invitation from this man who has a history of this agenda against gays. He was there listening and is endorsed by this mentally ill minister. It is terrifying:
Does the truth offend you? Obviously it does. The preacher quoted what is written; the founding fathers were not ashamed of it, just this generation of reprobate minds.
At least they are admitting attending was wrong, unlike Trump who doubles down on everything and never admits when he's wrong. People make mistakes, it happens.

Exactly. Trump thinks Trump walks on water.
Neither choice is a good choice.
