Donald Trump uninterested in overturning gay-marriage, says it's 'settled'

President-elect Donald Trump has considered the issue of gay-marriage "settled" due to the ruling by the Supreme Court that legalized it in 2015.

Last Sunday, CBS' "60 Minutes" host Lesley Stahl noted in her interview with the president-elect that the LGBTQ group has expressed fears about a Trump presidency. She proceeded to ask the president-elect whether he supports gay-marriage.

"It's irrelevant because it was already settled. It's law. It was settled in the Supreme Court. I mean it's done," Trump replied.

"It's done...These cases have gone to the Supreme Court. They've been settled. And, I'm fine with that," he added.

His opponent Hillary Clinton has stated that Trump intends to reverse the Supreme Court ruling at a rally in Las Vegas on Nov. 2.

The president-elect previously stated that he stands for traditional marriage although he said that he supports a domestic partnership law that allows same-sex couples to have the same legal benefits as married couples.

In October 2015, Trump has expressed an interest in overturning the Obergefell vs. Hodges ruling which legalized same-sex marriage.

The president-elect spoke little of gay marriage during his campaign. In late October this year, Trump showed his support for the LGBTQ community by holding up a rainbow flag with the words "LGBT for Trump."

In another part of the interview, Trump emphasized that he intends to appoint pro-life judges when Stahl asked him about the issue of Supreme Court justices,

"Having to do with abortion if it ever were overturned, it would go back to the states. So it would go back to the state," he remarked.

Trump also revealed a few details about his meeting with outgoing President Barack Obama. He mentioned that they talked about foreign and domestic policy as well as the conflict in the Middle East.

When the discussion shifted to the issue of immigration, Trump indicated that he could deport up to three million undocumented immigrants with criminal records. He also said that there may be some fencing in parts of his proposed border wall.

When Stahl mentioned the acts of violence committed against minorities by Trump's supporters, the president-elect replied, "I am so saddened to hear that. And I say, 'Stop it.' If it helps. I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it."
