Weiderpass and Reisner hosted Cruz, the Texas senator and presidential candidate — and vocal opponent of same-sex marriage — at their duplex apartment earlier this [past] week for a “fireside chat” and dinner. . .
Cruz, a tea party favorite, has long called for a constitutional amendment that would disallow the federal government and courts from reversing state marriage laws. Most recently, he introduced another piece of legislation to prohibit the federal courts from deciding on same-sex marriage until such an amendment is put in place. In the past, the senator has called himself a supporter of traditional marriage, harshly criticized the Supreme Court for effectively allowing same-sex marriage to move forward in five states and said in a 2011 email that “engaging in homosexual conduct is a choice.”
