In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network last Friday, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) stoked religious fears that gay rights will soon lead to new hate speech laws and will force pastors to perform same-sex nuptials. Via Right Wing Watch.
Says Cruz:
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. It gets enforced against Christian pastors
who decline to perform gay marriages, who speak out and preach biblical
truths on marriage, that has been defined elsewhere as hate speech, as
inconsistent with the enlightened view of government. I think there is
no doubt that the advocates who are driving this effort in the United
States want to see us end up in that same place.
Later in the interview, Cruz expressed his fears that America is on
the brink of collapse. "If we keep going down this path, we're risking
losing our nation; we're risking losing the incredible oasis of
liberty."No reports yet on any pastors being forced to perform gay marriages that would signal this collapse, but when they surface we'll be sure and let you know!

Well christianity is hate speech, but it's still legal. Scary thinking you might lose your rights isn't it? What an ass wipe.
