The Devil You Know

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio said on Friday that the debate about whether gay and lesbian couples can marry is not about discrimination.

The Florida senator made his remarks at the Presidential Family Forum in Des Moines, Iowa. Seven Republican presidential candidates attended the event, which took place at the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center. Event co-sponsors included The Family Leader Foundation, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) and the Alliance for Defending Freedom.

Rubio told attendees that the debate over religious liberty was taking place “in the context of the definition of marriage.”

“Which is not a debate about discrimination,” Rubio stated. “The debate is about how do you define an institution, the institution of marriage, which has been defined the same way for all of human history. That's what the debate is about. It's not about discriminating against anyone. The debate is about how do you define an institution.”

Rubio added that religious liberty was about the right to “exercise your belief.”

“And if you're a Christian, it's your obligation to exercise your religious belief in every aspect of your life,” he said.

Your absolutely wrong, it is discrimination; you can try and talk circles around the word all you want, but anytime you think you have the right to limit someone else's civil rights to accommodate your "chosen" religious beliefs, then sorry dipshit, that is the very definition of discrimination.

Your a worse monster than even Ted Cruz or Ben Carson, they at least are open about their bigotry and don't try to disguise it in gratuitous double talk.
