Watch: Barbara Bush Supports Gay Marriage
Courtesy of Politico:
Barbara Bush is coming out in support of gay marriage.
The 29-year-old daughter of President George W. Bush announces in a web video posted late Monday that she supports same-sex marriage. “I’m Barbara Bush and I’m a New Yorker for marriage equality, ” she says. “New York is about fairness and equality. And everyone should have the right to marry the person that they love.”
The video is a 22-second spot for gay-rights advocacy group Human Rights Campaign’s New Yorkers for Marriage Equality project. The group plans to show the video on Saturday at its annual gala in New York.
“Join us, ” she says at the end, adding herself to a growing list of prominent New Yorkers, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who have appeared in brief videos supporting HRC’s efforts to legalize same-sex marriage in New York.
