title: Cruz Hotelier Caves to Big Gay McCarthy Hate Machine
authors: John Nolte
content: One of the two openly gay hoteliers who hosted Republican Senator Ted Cruz at a Manhattan event last week , has caved to the Gaystapo with the kind of sniveling , dishonest and humiliating apology demanded by the Gaystapo if you don ’ t want your life ruined .
  “ I am shaken to my bones by the emails , texts , postings and phone calls of the past few days . I made a terrible mistake , ” wrote Ian Reisner on his Facebook page over the weekend .
  Reisner went on to claim , quite ridiculously , that he was unaware of Cruz ’ s opposition to same sex marriage :
  I ’ ve spent the past 24 hours reviewing videos of Cruz ’ s statements on gay marriage and I am shocked and angry . I sincerely apologize for hurting the gay community and so many of our friends , family , allies , customers and employees . I will try my best to make up for my poor judgment . Again , I am deeply sorry .
  Reisner and his business partner , Mati Weiderpass , are prominent New York real estate developers and gay rights advocates . One of their hotels , OUT NYC , is famous for being gay-friendly .
  Instead of hating Cruz , the hoteliers decided last week to host an event with the Republican presidential hopeful to discuss , among other things , their common ground on the issue of Israel . Once news leaked of the event , The Big Gay McCarthy Hate Machine , that chooses which opinions are appropriate for the gay community , immediately began the evil work of destroying the lives of these two men . Boycotts against their businesses were quickly organized and hate campaigns were launched via social media .
  No one with a half a brain believes Reisner was unaware of Cruz ’ s personal opposition to same-sex marriage , or his political position in favor of allowing the states to determine the definition of marriage . What ’ s important to the Gaystapo is that Reisner was willing to grovel through such a ridiculous claim .
  Like many others before him , Reisner ’ s entire life and career was about to get the Khristallnacht treatment , and he caved .
  That ’ s what the Gaystapo wants ; for its targets to prove their fealty by humiliating themselves . Once The Big Gay McCarthy Hate Machine knows you are broken and no longer defiant , they take the pressure off .
  By terrorizing dissent and individual thought , followed by immediate relief once the target speaks the approved opinion , an important public example is set that warns other not to stray from the Thought Plantation .
