gay marriage’ – Calvin Freiburger
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/kellyanne-conway-touts-trump-as-first-president-to-start…approving-of-gay-marriage
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As
Democrats vying for the White House frame themselves as LGBT “allies” looking
to replace a “homophobic” incumbent, recent comments by one of Donald Trump’s
top advisers underscore that the 45th president actually agrees with the Left on
key aspects of the homosexual agenda. At the end of May, Kellyanne Conway
contrasted her boss’ endorsement of LGBT “Pride Month” with his predecessors’
handling of same-sex “marriage,” telling reporters outside the White House she
was “old enough to remember the 2008 campaign where Hillary and Obama were
arguing with each other about who was more in favor of traditional marriage. It
wasn’t so long ago. He is the first president to start as president approving
of gay marriage.”)
