Ken Bone, the undecided voter who
became an Internet star after posing a question at Sunday's
presidential debate, said during an appearance that he supports
marriage equality.
Bone, who works in the fossil fuel
industry, gained tens of thousands of followers on Twitter
immediately after his participation in the debate.
Joining Jimmy Kimmel from St. Louis,
Bone said that he supports Donald Trump's economic policy but
disagrees with the Republican's opposition to legal recognition of
the marriages of gay and lesbian couples.
“I would really hate for anyone’s
rights to be taken back,” Bone
said. “We fought so hard to get marriage equality and to get
rights expanded to more Americans and I couldn't – it would be
unconscionable for me to see those taken away by a Supreme Court
justice appointed by Donald Trump.”
Bone, who is raising a preteen son with
his wife, also told Kimmel that audience members were sequestered for
14 hours prior to the debate.
