No Gay Marriage for George Bush
US President George W. Bush has again derided gay marriage, saying “I believe society’s best interests are met by defining marriage as between a man and a woman.” And to underline his point: “That’s what I believe.” His comments at the White House news conference were in response to a journalist pressing him on how society’s best interests could be served by the courts nullifying same-sex unions, as had been done to thousands of couples in San Francisco. The National Stonewall Democrats called Bush’s comments an “affirmation of marriage discrimination.” In contrast, “the Democratic Party supports extending equal rights and responsibilities to same-sex families,” said Eric Stern, the group’s president. A bill to amend the Constitution to ban same-sex unions is currently before Congress. 19 US states have already written similar amendments into their state constitutions and seven more have ballots on the issue forthcoming this year.

George W. Bush is a fucking bastard.
