Rick Santorum may not make it onto the first televised GOP presidential debate, but he's still fighting to make sure his rabid anti-LGBT bigotry has a platform this election season.
Speaking with reporters at a breakfast organized by the Christian Science Monitor, the former senator from Pennsylvania expressed his frustration with fellow 2016 contender Ted Cruz's anti-LGBT views – specifically Cruz's support for a constitutional amendment allowing states to continue to define marriage for themselves.
The Dallas Morning News reports:
“That's a mistake….You can't have a hodgepodge of marriage… It just creates too much confusion,” Santorum said, adding that this problem is a key reason the Supreme Court ruled as it did, sweeping away state-by-state bans on same-sex marriage.
Last week, Santorum signed the National Organization for Marriage's candidate pledge supporting a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
Who woulda thought Ted Cruz, the man who has proposed throwing out pro-equality Supreme Court justices and just last week expressed his hopes that a “raging inferno” of God-fearing anti-gay hate would descend across America, could be considered “soft” on LGBT issues?
