Ted Cruz schools actress Ellen Page about gay rights and religious liberty

At the Iowa State Fair on Friday, U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Ted Cruz (R-TX) schooled actress Ellen Page on gay rights and religious liberty.

Page: “What about the question about LGBT people being fired for being gay-trans?”

Cruz: “Well, what we’re seeing right now, we’re seeing Bible-believing Christians being persecuted for living according to their faith.”

Page: “Yeah, for discriminating against LGBT people,” Page, who is openly gay, interrupted.

Cruz: “No, for living according to their faith.

“Imagine, hypothetically, you had a gay florist and imagine two evangelicals wanted to get married and they decide, ‘You know what, I disagree with your faith and I don’t want to provide flowers.’”
