The other commenter on this thread is right - this is classic poisoning the well.

When a politician does something right - and Cornyn's letter asks far more pointed and on-point questions than I expected - the correct response is not to bring up everything you feel the politician has ever done wrong.

My views, your views, and Cornyn's views about gay marriage aren't particularly relevant here.

The questions are great. The guy, though, is a horror. That's all I'm saying.

Geesh, and all anyone else here is saying that his political beliefs on anything else aren't relevant to anyone who is genuinely interested in helping the cause that Aaron fought for. Cornyn, for whatever his agenda might be, is trying to help. And that isn't good enough for you because he's a Republican. And that is just pathetic partisanship.

You're blasting Corynyn because you don't agree with his politics. Fine. But that has absolutely nothing to do with anything here.
