Nobody in their right mind would think that Ted Cruz is a softie on gay issues — but the GOP presidential race is crowded with people who do.

The changed political landscape isn’t confined to marriage. Events are shaping the future in other ways — and not all of them good.

A group supporting presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is attacking one of his most anti-LGBT opponents, Ted Cruz, for not opposing same-sex marriage strongly enough.

Six GOP presidential hopefuls have signed a pledge stating that, if elected, would push for passage of federal legislation to protect anyone who discriminates against LGBT Americans under the guise of “religious liberty.”

The First Amendment Defense Act, if passed, would make anti-LGBTQ discrimination legal under the banner of “religious liberty.”

Cruz is positioning himself to be the last man standing. Scarily enough, that’s a real possibility.

His latest backer thinks gay marriage will lead to parents wedding their own children.

Here are some incredibly awkward highlights plucked from 17 hours of raw footage of Cruz and his family.

Ted Cruz’s claim that Planned Parenthood terrorist Robert Lewis Dear is transgender is demonstrably false.

Cruz denied that the domestic terrorism incident was related to the shooter’s anti-choice views, and instead blamed “vicious rhetoric on the left.”

Speakers included homophobic activists like Dick and Betty Odgaard, Texas Pastor David Welch, and Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council.

Kevin Swanson, the host of the event, has gone on the record to say that gay people should be put to death.

Cruz suggests it’s just a matter of time before the LGBTQ community tries to normalize the psychiatric disorder.

The presidential hopeful’s anti-gay rhetoric falls apart completely after a few seemingly respectful prods.

Here’s a look at how the eleven Republican candidates for president fared on Wednesday night.

The senator and Juno actress had a spirited argument at today’s Iowa State Fair.

GOP presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee went head-to-head for evangelical votes this weekend, telling a megachurch congregation that God favors the U.S. but that the nation is on a perilous spiritual path because of same-sex marriage.

When the gay hoteliers Ian Reisner and Mati Weiderpass found themselves under siege for hosting a dinner for Ted Cruz, tthey repeatedly stressed that the event was not a fund-raiser.

Cruz, who believes the gay “jihad” may soon lead to the imprisonment of pastors and the end of free speech, says the legalization of same-sex marriage is the greatest threat to religious liberty in U.S. history.
