Barbara Bush for Marriage Equality
By Advocate.com Editors
The daughter of a Republican president who once endorsed passage of a
constitutional amendment banning gay marriage has spoken out in support of
marriage equality.
"I am Barbara Bush, and I am a New Yorker for marriage equality," the 29-
year-old daughter of President George W. Bush said in a short video posted
Monday on YouTube by the Human Rights Campaign. "New York is about fairness
and equality. And everyone should have the right to marry the person that
they love."
She joins her mother, Laura Bush, in pro–marriage equality sentiment.
During a May appearance on Larry King Live to promote her memoir, Spoken
From the Heart, the former first lady said, “When couples are committed to
each other and love each other” they should have “the same sort of rights
that everyone has.”
TheNew York Times reports that Bush's twin sister, Jenna, has not spoken
publicly on the issue. A spokesman for President Bush declined to comment. | m******1
