Look Who Pushed Bush’s Anti-Gay Agenda

Look Who Pushed Bush’s Anti-Gay Agenda

June 6, 2015
By Taegan Goddard

Huffington Post: “During the 2004 elections, George W. Bush’s campaign, managed by a closeted gay man, pushed a series of anti-gay ballot initiatives across the country. The House of Representatives, led by a male speaker who allegedly sexually assaulted a male minor, moved a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage after beating back attempts to strengthen hate crimes legislation. And the White House, led in part by a vice president with a lesbian daughter, eagerly encouraged a conservative evangelical base hostile to gay rights.”
