Ted Cruz: Being gay is Tim Cooks personal choice, but I love my iPhone
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/10/ted-cruz-being-gay-is-tim-cooks-personal-choice-but-i-love-my-iphone/
In a Thursday morning interview with CNBC, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) commented on Apple CEO Tim Cooks decision to come out as gay by calling Cooks orientation a personal choice, but went on to say, Ill tell you I love my iPhone.
The Hill blog reported Thursday that Cruz was opining that same-sex marriage is a matter best left up to individual states to decide, although he was careful to stipulate that he believes that marriage should only be between one man and one woman.
Cruz wants to amend the U.S. Constitution to make it impossible for the Supreme Court to overturn state laws denying same-sex couples the right to marry.
When asked about his thoughts on Apple CEO Tim Cooks decision to be open about his orientation, Cruz said, Those are his personal choices, Ill tell you I love my iPhone.
Listen, Tim Cook makes his personal decisions, and that is his life. My focus is on the constitutional question of who has the authority to make decisions, he went on.

Dear Ted Cruz - being an asshole racist, homophobic douchebag who wants to deny civil rights to other American citizens is a 'Personal Choice'. Being Gay is NOT!

but did Ted Cruz just admit to having a relationship with a device with a 3.5mm receptacle?

.... than being an idiot was Cruz's choice.
