Input: DES MOINES, Iowa -- "Can we ask you questions right now?" Canadian actress Ellen Page said to Ted Cruz just moments after he took a big bite out of a pork chop wrapped in tinfoil. I asked her what she had come to talk to Cruz about, and she said, "Gay stuff." 
  
 Cruz did not immediately answer her. Page, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, turned to one of the three people who had accompanied her (one of whom had brought a camera to record their encounter) to the Iowa State Fair, and said quietly, "I've gotta Michael Moore this a little bit better." She then dove into her questions. 
  
 "Can I ask you questions about the religious bill and rally?" Page queried, likely referring to the various religious freedom bills that have come up in some states, that might be used to allow citizens to cite their religion in denying some services to gays and lesbians. 
  
 The Texas senator and GOP presidential candidate gave his assent, still holding onto his pork chop. Page, who is openly gay, asked a broad opening question about his views on the use of religious liberty to justify discrimination against the LBGT community. She cited racial segregation and women's suffrage movements as other examples of groups that suffered discrimination in the name of religious freedom. 
  
 Cruz responded, "If you actually look at the history in this country of defeating slavery, if you look at the history of defeating Jim Crow, leaders in the church played a critical role." He invoked Martin Luther King's letter from the Birmingham jail "where he calls upon the conscience of Christians to stand up." 
  
 Page remained calm but fired back. 
  
 "Yes, but a lot of religious people also used the Bible to defend segregation, to defend slavery...LBGT people are worried that they might be discriminated against because of the bill, you know," Page said. 
  
 The two had a lively debate that lasted about five minutes. Cruz explained that he does not want "to force anyone to abandon their religion" but he would not address Page's assertion that LBGT Americans are getting fired for their sexual identity. He asserted that Christians are being persecuted for their faith, and Page retorted that it was because they are discriminating against the LGBT community. 
  
 Cruz said Americans should respect diversity and allow people to live by their faith, which was not enough of an answer for Page. 
  
 "In a lot of states, LGBT people can be fired for just being gay or just being trans, [and] that's totally legal. I mean how do you feel about that? That just doesn't sound very American to me," Page argued. She announced she was gay just over a year ago. 
  
 Cruz defended the right of religious conservatives to deny certain services that directly oppose their beliefs and dove into his oft-repeated story about the Odgaards, devout Mennonites, who were sued and eventually forced to close their Lutheran church shop because they did not allow a gay couple to get married there. Cruz has met with them multiple times and uses their story to illustrate the need for religious liberty rights. In fact, they will attend his rally Friday night. 
  
 The exchange grew more heated when the argument expanded to other countries. Cruz explained that ISIS and Iran are persecuting and executing gay people, while Page countered, saying that Christians in Uganda and Jamaica are persecuting gays. 
  
 "Does that trouble you at all that you draw a moral equivalence between Christians in Jamaica and radical Islamic terrorists in ISIS that are beheading children -- they're not morally equivalent. Murder is murder is murder - and it's wrong. And it's wrong across the board," Cruz said adding that Jamaicans are not murdering people. 
  
 "A lot of gay people are getting killed in Jamaica," Page said. 
  
 Cruz countered, "But in Iran and ISIS, it is the governmental body that is executing them for being homosexual..." 
  
 "Yeah, that's a horrible thing," Page conceded. 
  
 "...and why does the Obama administration not stand against them?" Cruz asked. 
  
 "I don't know, I would love to speak with Obama about it," Page said. 
  
 "Well, great, then we're agreed on that," Cruz said. Page seemed unsatisfied, but she nodded and walked away. Cruz still had his pork chop in hand. ||||| These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to.

 DES MOINES — Sen. Ted Cruz and actress Ellen Page had an animated back-and-forth about gay rights at the Iowa State Fair on Friday. 
  
 Page asked Cruz, who was standing behind a grill full of pork chops, about LGBT people who are "being fired for just strictly being gay or trans." The question kicked off a nearly five-minute exchange between the actress and the presidential candidate, who did not appear to recognize Page. 
  
 "We're seeing Bible-believing Christians being persecuted for living according to their faith," Cruz said. The Texas Republican, who is courting the vote of conservatives and evangelical Christians, is holding a rally for religious liberty here Friday night. 
  
 "For discriminating against LGBT people," Page shot back. The encounter was filmed by ABC News. 
  
 "No, for living according to their faith," Cruz, holding a pork chop in one hand, responded. 
  
 Cruz said he would answer Page's question but "not have a back and forth debate," which is exactly what they ended up doing. The two launched into a debate about gay rights and religious liberty. Page said Cruz's arguments about religious liberty were similar to those used during segregation. Cruz recounted the story of an Iowa couple who refused to hold a same-sex wedding at their venue. 
  
 "Imagine, hypothetically, that you had a gay florist and two evangelical Christians wanted to get married, and the gay florist decided, 'You know what? I disagree with your faith and I don't want to provide flowers,' " Cruz said.

 "I would say they should provide the flowers," Page, who has appeared in movies including "Juno," said. Page is a lesbian. 
  
 Page said to Cruz that "gay people used to be thrown in jail" and that "we've come a long way." 
  
 "Do you know where gay people are being persecuted right now?" Cruz asked? 
  
 "All over the world," Page said. 
  
 Cruz said that gay people are being killed by the Islamic State and in Iran. 
  
 "And on the left you hear complete silence about Iran hanging homosexuals," Cruz said, adding that the Obama administration is sending "millions of dollars" to the country. 
  
 "That's not true!" Page exclaimed while he was speaking. Page said that gay people are being persecuted around the world, including in Jamaica. 
  
 "Does it trouble you at all that you draw a moral equivalence between Christians in Jamaica and radical Islamic terrorists in ISIS who are beheading children?" Cruz said, using an acronym for the Islamic State. 
  
 Jamaica "may not be celebrating a gay pride parade, but they're not murdering people," as in Iran or the Islamic State, Cruz said, and asked why the Obama administration isn't raising the issue. 
  
 "I would love to talk to Obama about it. That'd be great," Page said. 
  
 "Well, good, then we're agreed on it," Cruz said. 
  
 "No, no, we're not. Don't do that," Page said. 
  
 "Ma'am, we've had a long discussion," Cruz said. 
  
 "Yeah, yeah, I appreciate it," Page said. |||||
Output:
Here's something you don't see every day: a Hollywood star and a Republican presidential nominee debating gay rights and religious freedom with only a few dozen sizzling pork chops between them. CBS News reports Ellen Page, star of Juno and Inception, interrupted Ted Cruz's pork-related media event today to talk about, in her words, "gay stuff." According to the Washington Post, Cruz said he didn't want to have a "back-and-forth" debate. They had one anyway. CBS reports Page, who is gay, opened by asking the Texas senator about the use of religion to justify discrimination against gays, pointing out similar tactics were used to support racial segregation. Cruz responded that church leaders played a critical role in ending slavery and Jim Crow laws. The debate went on for five or so minutes, with Page asserting gay and transgender people are being fired for their sexual identity and Cruz countering that Christians are being persecuted for their faith, CBS reports. While the two didn't come to any major agreements, they both conceded it's awful Iran and ISIS are executing homosexuals. Cruz, who is hosting a rally tonight to call "attention to the religious persecution of Christian business owners and employees," told ABC News he didn't know it was Page while talking to her. ABC reports Page is working on a project for VICE. Interestingly both Cruz and Page were born in Canada. But, only one of them is buddies with Hugh Jackman.
