Those useful, pole-smoking idiots at GOProud will point to Barbara Bush's position on marriage equality as proof that today's GOP is whole lot less anti-gay than yesterday's GOP. Don't fall for it. What Cindy McCain, Megan McCain, and the Bush twins think of gay marriage—what all the relatives of GOP elected officials think of gay marriage—is pretty close to irrelevant. If you want to know where the GOP is at on gay rights, pay attention to what actual Republican elected officials are doing.
Can we stop falling for this shit, please?
