Jeb Bush Switches, Now May Support Anti-Gay Amendment

(Miami, Florida) After saying for more than a year he opposed amending the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage Florida Gov. Jeb Bush now says he may support the proposed amendment.

In the past Bush has stated that he believes Florida's Defense of Marriage law is sufficient but at a Friday fundraiser for the conservative Florida Family Policy Council he said he is rethinking his position.

Bush that that decisions in courts across the country that appear to favor gay unions and parenting - although not necessarily marriage - have made him reconsider the amendment.

The council has long called for an amendment to block courts in the state from overturning DOMA and was behind the push to keep Terri Schiavo on a feeding tube.

This country isn't for establishing a theocracy based on right wing fanaticism. They were too dumb to learn from the Terri fiasco.

That whole goddamned family is a bunch of homophobes, beholden to the religious right. I'm genuninely surprised that he was even thinking of opposing it. Jeb Bush's record on GLBT rights as governor has been completely abysmal.
