“I have no problem with it whatsoever. I think it’s good,” the president told Fox News.
By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow May 17 at 8:53 AM President Trump said “some people” may have a problem with Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg’s marriage to his husband, Chasten, but he thinks “it’s absolutely fine,” “great” and “good.”
“I think it’s great,” the president added. “I think that’s something that perhaps some people will have a problem with. I have no problem with it whatsoever. I think it’s good.” The Republican National Committee’s official platform echoed Trump’s desire to return “control over marriage to states” and affirmed that “conversion therapy,” the discredited practice that one’s sexual orientation can be changed through therapy, is a “parental right.”
“What every gay person has in common with every excluded person of every kind is knowing what it’s like to see a wall between you and the rest of the world, and wonder what it’s like on the other side,” Buttigieg said Monday as the keynote speaker at a Human Rights Campaign dinner.
