LOS ANGELES, CA, August 25, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – The GOP's leading presidential candidate said that he has been to a gay "wedding" and that conservatives should accept the Supreme Court's redefinition of marriage.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Donald Trump was asked whether the issue of marriage's redefinition is "a dead issue for the GOP at this point."
"Some people have hopes of passing amendments [to the U.S. Constitution]," said Trump, "but it's not going to happen. Congress can't pass simple things, let alone that. So anybody that's making that an issue is doing it for political reasons. The Supreme Court ruled on it."
In June, Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper that he had evolved on the issue of marriage, and supports "traditional marriage." At the time, he was pressed by Tapper on whether Trump's three marriages undermined his position.
"They have a very good point," said Trump. "I have a great marriage. I have a great wife now. And I – my two wives were very good. And I don't blame them. But I was working, maybe like you, 22 hours a day."
"I blame myself because my business was so powerful for me. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing," he said.
Trump told the Reporter that he had been to the gay "wedding" of Broadway theater owner Jordan Roth.
Trump needs to understand that there is a difference between the conservative position and the GOPe party line.

The trouble is - that bell has rung. All these little perverts are going to get married between now and the next election. A president can’t go in and now tell them they aren’t married - the feds are even giving them spousal benefits. I don’t know how this issue can be solved by Trump or anyone else. Maybe it can be handled at the state level. Look how long abortion has been legal - since 1973 and just now is becoming an issue with the PP videos being released. Like most - we were sickened that the SC ruled the way they did, but, I saw it coming, as I think most did. They should have pushed it back to the states to decide. Some already had gay marriage legal - but not all.
Dred Scott was also the law of the land. Roe V. Wade is the law of the land Donald so we let it all stand?

but .....but....but.....he’s a great conservative...he’s the new Reagan.......he, he, he....he’s wonderful, he’s amazing, he’s god,.....but but but.......
We need to discuss MANY issues that need to be dealt with, not just the ones Donald Trump declares to be important.
States rights, weaponized government, religious liberties etc.
Trump is a democrat in a republican’s body
Progressivism on parade. But Trump is a fighter.
now tell me again, who is it needs to wake up???????
LOLOLOLOL......
It’s not over. There are still people whose lives are ruined because they won’t participate in same sex weddings.
The reaction to statements like this, and his 'abortions are only a small part of what they (PP (sic) do', should be condemned by conservatives as loudly as if they came from Yeb or Kasich.
I like that...how about this one too: Trump is a liberal who has taken up residence in the heads of many gullible conservatives.....
Yet he thinks he can somehow enact changes to the 14th Amendment?
I listened to him. He’s saying he supports natural marriage and that he supports life.
Why are folks not marching in the streets to pass a pro-life amendment? Why is it so hard even to get pro-life legislation passed?
Because the amendment threshold is 75% and the legislation threshold under filibuster rules is 60% and 67% with a democrat president.
This prolifer and upholder of traditional morality knows instinctively that Trump is not one of us. He tries to mouth the words, but he slips up because his core is a bit mushy. Perhaps he is a work in progress - Grant this O Lord.
“he’s a great conservative...he’s the new Reagan.......he, he, he....he’s wonderful, he’s amazing, he’s god,”
Who here besides you have said any of that?
Uh Oh!
When will people wake up PING!!!
