“I am Barbara Bush, and I am a New Yorker for marriage equality,” she says during an advertisement for same-sex marriage. “New York is about fairness and equality. And everyone should have the right to marry the person that they love.”
Mrs. Bush joins Meghan McCain, the daughter to John McCain, in welcoming equal treatment to same-sex couples among conservative members in the Republican party.
What about family differences?
“Wives and children should be able to speak their piece,” said Ms. McCain, who is a popular columnist at The Daily Beast. “I think it shows healthy dynamics within a family. We shouldn’t all think one way, and think one thing.”
Mrs. Bush rarely enters American political discourse after graduating from Yale, but sources say she has come to surround herself with gay friends in New York.
“It’s her blue eyes,” Brain Masser, a resident of San Francisco, told Politically Illustrated. “What gay guy could not love those adorable blue eyes. Dah!”
“We love everybody, but for those few, we purchase a large stick and whack them with it.”
