Cruz Softens Tone on Gay Marriage for One Night

Sen. Ted Cruz has positioned himself as a strong opponent to same-sex marriage but “at a reception for him at the Manhattan apartment of two prominent gay hoteliers, the Texas senator struck quite a different tone,” the New York Times reports.

“During the gathering, according to two attendees, Mr. Cruz said he would have no problem if one of his daughters was gay. He did not mention his opposition to same-sex marriage, saying only that marriage is an issue that should be left to the states.”
