Governor Scott Walker’s sons don’t plan on changing his mind on same-sex marriage
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker doesn’t have to worry about constant haranguing from his sons when it comes to same-sex marriage. The family agrees to disagree.
Alex and Matt Walker were interviewed today, 12 July, by CNN. The two remain disappointed their father condemned the Supreme Court’s ruling making gay marriage legal in all 50 states, but they don’t intend to try to change their father’s opinion.
‘Matt and I aren’t necessarily changing his stances on any issues,’ 19-year-old Alex said in the interview, as he sat next to his 21-year-old brother.
Tomorrow Governor Walker will announce his presidential 2016 campaign. Last month, after the high court’s 26 June ruling, the Republican stated: ‘I believe this Supreme Court decision is a grave mistake.’ He blamed ‘five unelected judges’ and called for an amendment to the US Constitution so states can block gay marriage.
Earlier this month, in a newspaper interview, Tonette Walker, the governor’s wife, noted Matt and Alex voiced displeasure about their father’s comments.
‘That was a hard one,’ she said to Washington Post. ‘Our sons were disappointed. . . . I was torn. I have children who are very passionate [in favor of same-sex marriage], and Scott was on his side very passionate.’
‘Like any family, we have disagreements,’ Alex said to CNN. ‘He just explained his position, and that was it.’
Below is a clip of the interview. The conversation about marriage equality starts at approximately the 2 minute mark.
