Related: About this forumTed Cruz's daughter comes out as bisexual.
And she disagrees with him on just about everything. This ought to be an interesting few weeks. I just hope she is safe from his rabid supporters.

(15,378 posts)But I hope both sides don't go crazy. We shouldn't use a 13-year-old as a "gotcha," and hopefully the conservatives who always say don't drag a person's kids into an argument will actually do that for once.
Let the Cruz family have their privacy unless Ted does something stupid like send her to conversion therapy, etc.

(15,378 posts)But I just HAVE to assume that she doesn't like her husband that much since he refused to defend her from Trump calling her ugly, and maybe if it's not the case she's more liberal than Ted, she at least loves her daughter more and will defend her.

(6,926 posts)She clearly is in distress about her father and felt the need to speak out. But she is awfully young to be sharing this in public.
I hope she has a support system.

(633 posts)Will the parents be like typical Republicans and accept it because it's happening in THEIR family?! For the daughter's sake, I do hope so but I hate that Repukes are all about being anti everything until it falls within their family!

(32,610 posts)Am I right? I don't think this is a topic that should be discussed here on DU.
Under-age family of politicians should be off-limits. Once upon a time, privacy was respected for family members.
Just sayin'

(7,622 posts)Im both happy for her and encouraged that a 13 year old knows and owns her orientation. Not so long ago there was a lot of confusion around that subject for people that age. Hell, for people of any age come to think of it. Progress.
