My concern is that he'll be appointing a conservative Supreme Court judge. If any states decide to challenge gay marriage in the courts, there's a strong possibility that the federal law could be repealed and the decision would go back to the states.
He was very evasive when asked about LGBT rights in his 60 Minutes interview with Leslie Stahl. When asked about gay marriage, he said that it doesn't matter what he thinks because it's already a law. When she asked what his stand would be if the law was challenged, he said he would need to "decide when it happens".
He was almost flippant when asked about repealing Roe v. Wade. He said that it wouldn't hurt women because the decision would then go back to the states. She asked him what would happen to women who lived in states that forbid abortion, and his response was, "So let them go to another state".
We need to remember that complacency is dangerous. Througouth history, a lot of pretty dreadful things have happened while the majority of people sat around saying, "That could NEVER happen".
