Donald Trump is opposed to gay
marriage.
In a Monday appearance on Fox News, the
real estate mogul said he was considering a run for president as a
Republican.
When asked about social issues, Trump
told Greta Van Susteren that he's opposed to abortion rights and gay
marriage.
“New York is a place with lots of
gays, and I think it's great,” Trump said. “But I'm not in favor
of gay marriage.”
Trump's comments come after his
Thursday appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference
(CPAC) at the request of gay GOP group GOProud, whose
co-sponsorship of the event sparked a boycott by social
conservatives.
GOProud asked Trump to address the
crowd and organized a failed write-in campaign for the billionaire
celebrity.
At CPAC, Trump
was booed by the crowd when he said Texas Congressman and CPAC
favorite Ron Paul wasn't a serious presidential contender. For a
second consecutive year, Paul won the CPAC straw poll with 30 percent
of the vote.
On Monday, he sized up the field of
potential GOP presidential hopefuls: “I know many of them and
they're nice people. But, can they do the job? Perhaps not.”
