‘Kill The Gays’ Rally Attendees: Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee and Bobby Jindal
Republican presidential hopefuls Senator Ted Cruz, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, attended the “National Religious Liberties Conference” hosted by radical right-wing pastor Kevin Swanson in Des Moines, Iowa in November. All three candidates have expressed their extreme opposition to gay marriage.
Swanson, who has previously called for death to gays, said: “There are instances in which both the Old and New Testament speak to the matter with unbelievable clarity,” Swanson told the audience. “There’s not to be any debate about it…. You know what that sin is – it’s the sin of homosexuality…. In fact in Romans 1 Paul affirms that this particular sin is worthy of death, The Old and New Testament, I believe both speak with authority and we ought to receive it.”

Watch a clip of Swanson stating his belief that the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments, declares that the punishment for homosexuality is to be death:
