Supporters of traditional marriage often fear the free speech ramifications that could emerge as as result of increasing support for gay marriage in the United States. But are these worries really legitimate?
In an interview with CBN’s David Brody, Texas Sen. Ted
Cruz, a Republican, joined in this chorus, warning that the push in favor of
same-sex unions could, indeed, put First Amendment protections at risk.
“If you look at other nations that
have gone down the road towards gay marriage, that’s the next step of where it
gets enforced,” he said of hate speech regulations that are in place in other
countries.
“It gets enforced against Christian
pastors who decline to perform gay marriages, who speak out and preach biblical
truths on marriage and that has been defined elsewhere as hate speech — as
inconsistent with the enlightened view of government,” Cruz added.
