Donald Trump: People shouldn’t be sacked for being gay
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said employees should not be sacked simply for being gay.
The billionaire, who famously fired contestants on The Apprentice, also said he was ‘fine with affirmative action’ during an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press.
‘Should private companies be able to fire people because they’re gay?’ asked host Chuck Todd.
Trump replied: ‘Well, it’s a big discussion and I guess it’s getting a lot of negative rulings right now… and I’m willing courts to go with what the courts are saying.
Asked the question a second time, he said: ‘I don’t think it should be a reason, no.’
Last month, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled that LGBTI people were protected from workplace discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Despite his latests remarks, Trump –who has been married three times – previously said he was only ‘for traditional marriage.’
After the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage nationwide in June, he tweeted:
Once again the Bush appointed Supreme Court Justice John Roberts has let us down. Jeb pushed him hard! Remember!
