NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) stood by his opposition to same-sex marriage Friday, despite some speculation in recent days that he may be warming to the idea of marriage equality.
If Bush runs for president, some of his closest aides will be individuals who are strong public supporters of legalizing same-sex marriage. The hires, reported BuzzFeed, led to some chatter among Republicans that Bush could position himself as “the gay-friendly Republican in the 2016 field.”

Marriage equality is currently legal in 37 states. The Supreme Court this year will consider whether same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry nationwide.
