commentary by Timothy Horrigan; February 1, 2011
Barbara Bush, the brunette Bush Twin, broke with her father's political party (and also broke a long silence) by coming out— coming out in favor of marriage equality, I mean— on January 31, 2011. Her message is a simple one: we should all be free to marry the person we love. This is part of a series of web ads by "New Yorkers for Marriage Equality."

Barbara is a transplanted New Yorker, but several natives have contributed to this series of ads, e.g., Fran Drescher, Moby, and Mayor Bloomberg.
