Appearing Friday at the Conservative
Political Action Conference (CPAC), former Florida governor and
potential GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush said he remains opposed
to gay marriage.
When Fox News commentator Sean Hannity
asked whether his views on the subject had changed, Bush
answered: “No. I believe in traditional marriage.”
The question came a day after BuzzFeed
News quoted a Republican supporter as saying that Bush was “evolving”
on marriage equality.
David Aufhauser, who recently co-hosted
a fundraiser for Bush in Virginia, said of Bush: “His thinking [on
marriage equality] appears to have evolved.”
The report also cited a number of Bush
hires who support LGBT rights to bring home its point.
