Although Ted Cruz has publicly promised that opposition to gay marriage would be “front and center” in his 2016 campaign, Politico reports that “in December, behind closed doors at a big-dollar Manhattan fundraiser, the quickly ascending presidential candidate assured a Republican gay-rights supporter that a Cruz administration would not make fighting same-sex marriage a top priority.”
“In a recording provided to Politico, Cruz answers a flat ‘No’ when asked whether fighting gay marriage is a ‘top-three priority,’ an answer that pleased his socially moderate hosts but could surprise some of his evangelical backers.”
