4. Donald Trump Asked How He’d Explain His Opposition to Gay Marriage to a Gay Kid
Here’s Trump’s answer to the question of how he’d explain his opposition to same-sex marriage to a gay son or daughter or grandchild:
Well it’s the way it is. I wouldn’t speak to them at all about it other than they are who they are and I want them to be happy and will love them and cherish them…I’ve gone to gay weddings. I’ve been at gay weddings. I have been against [gay marriage] from the standpoint of Bible, from the standpoint of my teachings as growing up and going to sunday school and going to church and I’ve been opposed to it and we’ll just see how it all comes out.
Clear as mud.

3. Kentucky County Clerk Casey Davis Says He’ll Die Fighting Against Gay Marriage

Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, says he’s willing to die fighting for man-woman marriage.
The martyr complex runs deep in this one.
