Ted Cruz's daughter comes out as bisexual.

[Lunabell]

And she disagrees with him on just about everything. This ought to be an interesting few weeks. I just hope she is safe from his rabid supporters.

1. I had a feeling about that gal

she seems too honest to want her dad's stench on her

[PortTack]

2. Good for her!! I hope daddy is duly shamed in the eyes of his EVILGELICAL followers

[sheshe2]

3. I hope she is safe from her dad and mom.

4. I know it's silly

But I hope both sides don't go crazy. We shouldn't use a 13-year-old as a "gotcha," and hopefully the conservatives who always say don't drag a person's kids into an argument will actually do that for once.

Let the Cruz family have their privacy unless Ted does something stupid like send her to conversion therapy, etc.

7. I was just thinking that ... the asses solution, conversion therapy, etc. I feel sorry for

her, what she might encounter in that delusional family.

[TlalocW]

8. I don't know much about her mom

But I just HAVE to assume that she doesn't like her husband that much since he refused to defend her from Trump calling her ugly, and maybe if it's not the case she's more liberal than Ted, she at least loves her daughter more and will defend her.

16. Hope so, someone must be emotionally supporting her ... good to hear. n/t

[Orrex]

32. I'd say that there's a nonzero chance that Trump will comment piggishly about it

And then we'll see a real test of Cancun Cruz' fondness for groveling.

[RKP5637]

5. She has guts to come out publicly with that demented critter creep as a father. n/t

[TNNurse]

15. This should not have to happen to a 13 yo child.

She clearly is in distress about her father and felt the need to speak out. But she is awfully young to be sharing this in public.
I hope she has a support system.

[RKP5637]

17. It must be frightening, especially with his vile supporters. n/t

[Jilly_in_VA]

24. Hopefully

at least her mother supports her. No hope for his side of the family at all.

[cloudbase]

6. Off to conversion therapy with her. n/t

[mahina]

9. Can you imagine the arguments in that home?

Of course it’s all about him. How could she do this to him?

Ugh

Good luck to her.

[Traildogbob]

13. Up there with the

CONway family kitchen table.

[Jilly_in_VA]

10. Claudia Conway

all over again. I hope she can stick to her guns

[AZSkiffyGeek]

12. Will this end up with her all hugs and smiles w/ her parents on American Idol?

I have a hard time accepting Claudia Conway's "abuse" after it all ended when she got on American Idol with her parent cheering her on.

[Jilly_in_VA]

25. I very much doubt

that all is peace and harmony in THAT house either.

[flying_wahini]

11. I wanna see Ooze Cruz blather on about it on TV. He is such a doofus he will offend both sides.

[IronLionZion]

14. Kids are often very different from their parents

She looks like him so she's definitely his daughter. I also hope she's safe from rabid folks. It's not easy having shitty parents

[rpannier]

20. One of Pence's daughters has said she publicly supports gay marriage and LGBTQ rights

You're right. Kids are often different. Mine certainly are and it's a good thing. 1964-1982 has passed. Their time to be them

[blueinredohio]

18. Rob Portman was dead set against homosexuality

until his son came out. Then nothing.

[DemUnleashed]

19. Will...

Will the parents be like typical Republicans and accept it because it's happening in THEIR family?! For the daughter's sake, I do hope so but I hate that Repukes are all about being anti everything until it falls within their family!

[rpannier]

21. I'll take a convert

Sometimes they are the most zealous

[ashredux]

22. She is giving him THE FINGER

[FakeNoose]

23. If she weren't Ted Cruz's daughter, nobody would care, nobody would even know

Am I right? I don't think this is a topic that should be discussed here on DU.

Under-age family of politicians should be off-limits. Once upon a time, privacy was respected for family members.

Just sayin'

[Lunabell]

29. She put it out there.

So it's already in the public eye. I don't think this should be ignored.

[MontanaMama]

26. Universe keep her in your power.

Her dad and his friends are complete assholes.

[BlueJac]

27. Good luck to her!

[BobTheSubgenius]

28. Does anyone remember seeing the video about the video that Raphael was stage-managing?

It was cringe-worthy in the extreme. It was clear that that room wasn't overflowing with love and affection for the creep.

[krkaufman]

30. A teen

Why is anything a teen is doing a topic for discussion?

[Lunabell]

33. Because she put it out there for a reason.

Her feelings are valid.

[Ligyron]

31. Absolutely no one likes Ted Cruz, Not even his own family.

I’m both happy for her and encouraged that a 13 year old knows and owns her orientation. Not so long ago there was a lot of confusion around that subject for people that age. Hell, for people of any age come to think of it. Progress.

[Crowman2009]

34. It seems long ago that she didn't want a hug from that spineless creep.

Anyone remember this?

35. Talabangelicals think that just because they pop out a bunch of kids, that all of them will...

...follow lock step with everything they say. In the words of the late great Fred Willard from "A Mighty Wind", I would like to say.... I DON'T THINK SO!
