“Senator Cruz seems to have forgotten that – following British law – the American colonies imposed the death penalty for sodomy. Thomas Jefferson, among others, sought to change these laws, calling instead for castration. And that was because he wanted to reserve the death penalty only for murder and treason.
“Likewise, the very lenient Quakers in Pennsylvania preferred to punish sodomy with whipping, forfeiture of one-third of one’s property, and six months hard labor for a first offense. I would thus refer Senator Cruz to hashtag #AmericanFounding and hashtag #DivineLaw and #NaturalLaw.” – American Family Association Director of Policy & Legislative Affairs Jameson Taylor, speaking today before the National Association of Christian Lawmakers.
As I’ve previously reported, Sen. Ted Cruz was last week attacked by the cult when he objected to Uganda’s new death penalty for homosexuality.
The American Family Association is the nation’s largest anti-LGBTQ hate group, with assets in the tens of millions and ownership of nearly 200 Christian radio stations. Among their most visible and vocals arms is One Million Moms.
Speaking at a Christian nationalist event, the American Family Association’s Jameson Taylor chastised @tedcruz for criticizing Uganda’s draconian anti-LGBTQ law, insisting that such laws were a part of America’s founding and in accordance with divine law. https://t.co/tnFe9eY7f5 pic.twitter.com/Og4FKJjAzi
