Who gives a fuck? They aren't controlling jack squat, and their influence is nil, yet you want to act like they speak for every conservative in the country, or have any influence over anything, which is a lie. And why you're so confused, and you can't understand why Cruz said what he said, why you think that every conservative will automatically hate Cruz now.
Even when they did have a stronger voice, gays were not imprisoned or killed, it's all a bunch of bullshit that you idiots spew because you have nothing else left to talk about. Maybe we should let them fuck children to prove that we're not anti-gay, unless someone supports the entire agenda, you label them as anti-gay. It's garbage political theater to get votes for the big D, and nothing more.
