Rubio: Christianity Will Be Called ‘Hate Speech’

Marco Rubio told the Christian Broadcast Network that advocates of gay marriage will soon define “mainstream Christian” teachings as “hate speech.” In a Tuesday interview, the presidential candidate explained: “Because today we’ve reached the point in our society where if you do not support same-sex marriage you are labeled a homophobe and a hater.” Rubio warned that it will get worse. “After they are done going after individuals, the next step is to argue that the teachings of mainstream Christianity, the catechism of the Catholic Church, is hate speech and there’s a real and present danger.” Rubio said he grew up Catholic before his family briefly tried Mormonism.
