Flake: A GOP Prez Nominee For Gay Marriage Is ‘Inevitable’

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said Sunday that there will be a Republican nominee for president who supports gay marriage at some point in the future.

"I think that's inevitable," Flake said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "There will be one and I think he'll receive Republican support -- or she will. So I think that, ah --- yes, the answer is yes."

Flake said that he personally believes marriage is between and a woman and can't imagine changing that position.

I believe anti-gay is one pillar many in the party will refuse to change.
