Laura Bush for Dallas Pride?

There's a new Facebook group that makes Betty White for SNL Host seem positively quaint.  It's Draft Laura Bush for Dallas Pride 2010.  She's come out for marriage equality, plus she's local so no expensive transportation costs for the planning committee. What do you think?  I'm totally for it.  What a slap in the face for the anti-gay wingnuts.  God knows I'm no fan of her husband and I wish she had spoken up 5 or 6 years ago, but every time a prominent Republican comes out for gay rights, it gives other Republicans permission to do the same.  These are the people we have to convince and she's helping us do it. 

I know it's more than a little unlikely, but hey, Tammy Faye was at Dallas Pride a few years ago and who would have predicted that back in her PTL days?  Stranger things have happened. 

Quote of the Day

"In 2004 the social question that animated the campaign was gay marriage. Before the election season had unfolded, I had talked to George about not making gay marriage a significant issue. We have, I reminded him, a number of close friends who are gay or whose children are gay. But at that moment I could never have imagined what path this issue would take and where it would lead."
