Marco Rubio showed his true anti-LGBT colors in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, declaring if elected he would reverse President Obamas executive orders to stop religious business owners who contract with the federal government from discriminating against gays as well as orders on gender identity, and appoint conservative justices to the U.S. Supreme Court who oppose same-sex marriage and abortion.
The executive orders would be to reverse the executive orders the president has made on things like gender equality in restrooms, Rubio told CBNs David Brody in an interview November 24 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Youve seen some local districts and others been forced to provide girls access to a boys bathroom and so forth. These sorts of things youve seen in Illinois for example, but also ensure that were not doing anything that at any part in our government that is putting organizations that are motivated by their faith or organized around their faith from having to violate the tenets of their faith and that includes government contractors. There are many government contractors and small companies who provide services to the government who are faith-based people, and they are being compelled to sin by government in their business conduct. That is not something we should be supporting.
Rubio told Brody his goal is to protect religious liberty in America: That includes reversing any administrative decisions made by this president that force religious, or religious-motivated entities. You may not be owned by a church, but you are a religious school, or your mission is to spread the Gospel and adhere to Gods teachings ensure that people in the private sector and the not-for-profit sector are being protected in living out their faith.

Seems like the R's are making the campaign all about who to hate more than the other person/group they hate.
