Donald Trump Jr. differs from his dad on gay marriage: “‘I’m totally for it – It’s never been an issue for me”
It’s nice to know that Donald Trump Jr. is a gay marriage ally.
His father infuriated many in the gay and lesbian community last year when, during his brief flirtation with running for the GOP presidential nomination, the three-times married Donald Trump said he was against gay marriage.
The younger Trump, who appears with his father on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice, believes his father merely took the position out of political necessity.
‘I think part of it, and perhaps the shame of being a conservative, is you almost have to have those kind of stances to win any kind of primary,’ the younger Trump said in an interview with The Six Pack. ‘And then you have to sell out and become a moderate in the middle just like you have to do if you’re on the liberal side of the political spectrum.’
The son is much more clear on where he stands on gay marriage: ‘I’m totally for it. One of my best friends growing up was gay. It’s never been an issue for me.’
