Gay marriage questions tend to put GOP contenders in an awkward position.

If candidates respond in favor of same-sex marriage they run the risk of alienating some of the core Republican voters in Iowa who tend to vote based on traditional, family-values. If they stand firm on the traditional definition of marriage and balk at the idea that there’s a constitutional right to a government-sanctioned, same-sex wedding, Republicans could provide a wedge issue for Hillary Clinton to use against them in 2016.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a Tea Party-style conservative with strong support among many Evangelical Christians, appears to have come up with an effective response to these challenges from the media.

The Texas Tribune reports on an exchange Cruz had with a gaggle of reporters who appeared to try and trap the Senator on the topic:

“Is there something about the left — and I am going to put the media in this category — that is obsessed with sex?” Cruz asked after fielding multiple questions on gay rights.

“ISIS is executing homosexuals — you want to talk about gay rights? This week was a very bad week for gay rights because the expansion of ISIS, the expansion of radical, theocratic, Islamic zealots that crucify Christians, that behead children and that murder homosexuals — that ought to be concerning you far more than asking six questions all on the same topic.”

Apparently, the reporter asked Cruz, repeatedly if he had any “personal animosity against gay Americans.”

Asked by the reporters if his stance on same-sex marriage will be a problem for him if he wins the GOP nomination, Cruz replied:

“With respect, I would suggest not drawing your questions from MSNBC. They have very few viewers and they are a radical and extreme partisan outlet.”

In the latest Quinnipiac Poll out of Iowa, Cruz is sitting at fourth place, just in front of Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR), a former Baptist pastor, for the Republican nomination.
