While appearing on MSNBC’s Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, Star Trek star, Howard Stern Show announcer and openly gay pop culture icon George Takei opened up about a conversation he had with Donald Trump regarding gay marriage. The Celebrity Apprentice Season 5 (Apprentice Season 12) contestant shared the details of a same-sex vs traditional marriage conversation that he had with his former boss.
Recently, George Takei spoke to Lawrence O’Donnell about a lunch conversation he had with Presidential hopeful Donald Trump:
“He said, ‘You know what, George, I just came from a gay marriage.’ And he told me, ‘They are good friends of mine, it was a beautiful marriage. They’re wonderful friends.’ And I said, ‘Then why can’t you support marriage equality? You go to weddings of same-sex couples.’ And he said, ‘Well, I’m for traditional marriage.’”
Takei was quick to point out that Trump is currently on his third marriage, adding:
“That is not traditional. And I approve of his three-time marriage, because you want to find the person that you love … I think Donald Trump’s interpretation of marriage is something that he really himself doesn’t really believe in.”
Takei is not too convinced that Trump actually believes what he is saying, stateing:
“I think he’s a businessman. I think he’s capable of saying anything that will be good for business or in whatever situation he should find himself in.”
