The seeds seem to be falling far away from the Trump tree as Donald Trump Jr. distances himself from his father's opposition to marriage equality. Details follow.
In an interview with the Six Pack Podcast, Trump Jr. presents a hetero-friendly case for supporting the gay community and marriage equality:
"I'm totally for it. One of my best friends growing up was gay. it's never been an issue for me. I think there was a time in my life, probably in college, that I wished every guy was gay because it meant more woman for me! I don't know what everyones problem with it is, I wish everyone was gay! That's always the way I thought about it. I have no issue with it. If I have to suffer through marriage why shouldn't they?"
At least it appears Trump Jr. not issuing contrived support simply to quiet those outraged by his unbelievable African game hunting photos. As for those, he told Six Pack:
"I'm kind of a closet redneck. I shoot competitively, I'm an avid fly fisherman, big time hunter, bow hunter, rifle hunter, so I do all of that. That surprises a lot of people. I sort of end up in some redneck circles every once in a while. And I mean that in the positive sense of the word."
Do you think straight men can relate to Trump Jr.'s argument for allegiance to the gayborhood?
