While touting her dad’s family leave plan as LGBTI-friendly, Ivanka Trump was forced to admit that new gay dads are not included in it.

The daughter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is said to have heavily influenced a plan that would give new mothers – including lesbians – six weeks of paid leave.

‘I think this takes huge advancement and obviously, for same-sex couples as well, there’s tremendous benefit here to enabling the mother to recover after childbirth,’ she told Cosmopolitan.com this week. ‘It’s critical for the health of the mother. It’s critical for bonding with the child, and that was a top focus of this plan.’

The 34-year-old mother of three added: ‘So it’s meant to benefit, whether it’s in same-sex marriages as well, to benefit the mother who has given birth to the child if they have legal married status under the tax code.’

Trump was pressed on why the leave proposal didn’t apply to male gay couples or include paternity leave for new dads.

‘ … The original intention of the plan is to help mothers in recovery in the immediate aftermath of childbirth. … The plan, right now, is focusing on mothers, whether they be in same-sex marriages or not.’
