Ted Cruz: Gay Marriage Will Lead to Persecution of Pastors And Christians

Ted Cruz has sure been making his way around lately, spotted in Iowa, an anti-immigration rally hosted by a known racist, cruising around with his pop, and now in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network.

What wisdom did the aspiring potential 2016 Republican presidential nominee have to share with the world this time? Gay marriage will lead to hate speech laws and the persecution of pastors and Christians.

"Everywhere I go people are afraid for the future of our country;" Cruz says during the interview. "I think we're at the edge of a precipice. If we keep going down this path, we're risking losing our nation; we're risking losing the incredible oasis of liberty."

"If you look at other nations that have gone down the road towards gay marriage, that's the next step of where it gets enforced," Cruz told David Brody during the interview aired by the Christian television network on Friday. "It gets enforced against Christian pastors who decline to perform gay marriages, who speak out and preach biblical truths on marriage, that has been defined elsewhere as hate speech, as inconsistent with the enlightened view of government."

"I think there is no doubt that the advocates who are driving this effort in the United States want to see us end up in that same place," Cruz further argues.
