Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump said this week that gay marriage was a dead issue for
the Republican Party.
Trump made his comments in a cover
story for The
Hollywood Reporter.
When asked if he's attended the wedding
of a gay couple, Trump, who remains opposed to marriage equality,
answered “yes.”
“Yes, I have,” Trump said.
“[Broadway theater owner] Jordan Roth. You know Jordan, right?
Great guy.”
“So is this a dead issue for the GOP
at this point?”
“Some people have hopes of passing
amendments, but it's not going to happen. Congress can't pass simple
things, let alone that,” Trump answered. “So anybody that's
making that an issue is doing it for political reasons. The Supreme
Court ruled on it.”
