Donald Trump has admitted his views on gay marriage are 'evolving', however, the property mogul claimed that he is still a strong supporter of traditional marriage between a man and woman.
Speaking to openly gay MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts, the billionaire said that his views on the subject are different to what they were 10 years ago and pointed to President Obama coming out in support of same-sex marriage.
In Moscow as the co-owner of the Miss Universe Organization, Trump attended Saturday night's pageant along with Roberts, who openly criticized Russia's anti-gay laws.
Evolving: Donald Trump has claimed that he is changing his mind on the issue of gay marriage but still believes in the traditional union of a man and a a woman
'I think Im evolving, and I think Im a very fair person, but I have been for traditional marriage,' said Trump to Roberts in an interview before the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow.
'I am for traditional marriage,' Trump said. 'I am for a marriage between a man and a woman.'
Discussing the issue of same-sex marriage in society, Trump was asked if his outspoken opposition to Russia's infamous anti-gay laws had helped shift his opinion.
'I think really what you have is a very changing stance, and you see it changing very rapidly. If you go back 10 years ago its very different,' Trump responded.

This guy is so lucky. His positions always happen to “evolve” when he’s thinking of running for president.
How convenient for him. ;)
5000 YEARS of Traditional Marriage.....how can ANYONE “evolve”. Go away your stupid person.
So is his ridiculous comb over.
Historically, going back centuries, many (but not all!) Conservatives have been Christian. But you do not NEED to be Christian to be a Conservative. But historically, even those thinkers who did not actually believe in the Judeo-Christian faith, if they were Conservatives, they still saw the value in the moral rules laid down in the Bible.
Individuals, families, and society benefit from these moral precepts. Even if you don't share the faith, you can see that these social rules have value.
And therefore, faith or not, there should be no question of "evolving".
Homosexuality is wrong. Always has been. Always will be. People who "evolve" on the issue are utterly missing the entire point of what Conservatism is all about. It's about a moral code which is above mere human whim.
All of that said.
Trump is saying the absolutely right things about American jobs.
Nobody else, is saying a single word, yet more and more formerly American goods are now manufactured in China.
That is not right. Not right at all.
Having been married three times, we know that Trump evolves quickly on the issue of marriage.
That's idiotic frankly. I mean that's too stupid for words.
My views on Gay Marriage.... are evolving too.
Im beginning to think that anyone who supports it... should be tattooed... with a Scarlet G on their forehead!!
Thank you!
He evolved parties 3 or 4 times now.. I don’t trust him!
Who is saying America needs to bring back American jobs?
Who?
Same here.
Dennis Prager did a great article on this:
Judaism’s Sexual Revolution: Why Judaism (and then Christianity) Rejected Homosexuality
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3292085/posts?page=5
I was absolutely thinking of that very article when I posted my reply.
I hope Trump doesn’t run. After his big donation to the Clinton foundation was revealed last week, I think he is a trojan horse and closet Clinton fan.
If he does run I hope he isn’t allowed on the debates. He is an embarrassment.
“5000 YEARS of Traditional Marriage”
Are you saying that polygamy, raiding villages for maidens, etc., were also “traditional”? After all, they date back to antiquity.
Trump at least questioned O’s obvious lack of qualification for the American presidency and trump says some pro- jobs things too. But I can’t even imagine why he wants to “evolve” on homosexual “marriage” (sic). Sick. Sicko.
Trump is a tumor with HUGE ego. Avoid him at all costs, if Republicans want to win back control in 2016. Not that it really matters.
Evolved? Trump should get to know these two verses
. Malachi 3:6 For I am the Lord, I change not
. And James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
