Not happy with backing up Kevin Swanson's call for the death of all gay people, presidential wannabe Ted Cruz has welcomed endorsements from a number of additional extreme anti-gay activists.
A recent press release titled “More Than 200 Faith Leaders Endorse Ted Cruz For President” lists Pastor Ron Baity and the the Benham brothers' father Flip (right) as supporters.
Baity, who in 2012 received the Family Research Council's Watchman Award for services to hatred, has claimed that homosexuality is a choice and called gays “worse than maggots.” He also said that LGBT activists are spreading “perversion” in schools which will lead to – you guessed it – the wrath of god.

Last year, gay wedding crasher Benham said the “homosexual agenda” is a “pink-colored glove” covering “the fist of the devil.”
Cruz's father Rafael said the support of Benham, Baity and others is “a testament both to the high interest in Ted among people of faith and to his consistent defense of religious liberty for all Americans at every step of his career.”
