"The only thing that Donald Trump has ever been consistent about in his life is his devotion to money, so it should surprise no one that his private take on marriage equality has nothing to do with rights, dignity, or love. In this week's piece on the A-Gays, one Trump associate was quoted as saying that Trump once summed up his thinking on same-sex marriage this way: I love the gays. They pay the most for the weddings.""
"That is vintage Trump. You can take away politics, religion, constitutionality, but for him, it all comes down to the checkbook. But don't kid yourself thinking, "Wow, Trump is for marriage equality," because he surely didn't open Mar-a-Lago's doors to gay couples out of principle. Instead, he did it because those pricey, ca-ching, ca-ching Palm Beach weddings for same-sex couples were highly profitable. The gilded ballroom doesn't discriminate when there's an AMEX Black Card involved."
Donald Trump prioritizes money over principle and privately framed marriage equality in commercial terms, saying I love the gays. They pay the most for the weddings. He allowed same-sex weddings at Mar-a-Lago for profit, attracted by expensive Palm Beach celebrations. The Supreme Court faces a petition to overturn Obergefell, filed on behalf of a Kentucky county clerk who denied marriage licenses to same-sex couples. If the Court weakens or overturns nationwide marriage equality, the issue could revert to the states. Trump's embrace of "leave it to the states" could enable red states to ban same-sex marriage again.
