Tom Leppert on Civil Rights |
Moderator: "Are you saying Mayor Leppert is in favor of gay marriage?"
Cruz: "What I am saying is that when a mayor of a city chooses twice to march in a parade celebrating gay pride that's a statement and it's not a statement I agree with."
Former Mayor Leppert has complained that Cruz has distorted his position on gays and Leppert wanted to clear up misconceptions for the conservative voters who were listening.
Leppert: "The mayor is against gay marriage. I believe marriage should be defined as one man and one woman. But I had the responsibility to represent everybody but everybody understood where my faith was. I will tell my role as a Christian is to reach out and touch everybody."
