Bush daughter endorses marriage equality
WASHINGTON -- One of former President George W. Bush's twin daughters became the latest in a line of younger-generation Republicans to throw her support behind gay marriage in a surprise statement released on Monday night.

In a video cut for New Yorkers for Marriage Equality, a project of the Human Rights Campaign, former first daughter Barbara Bush fully endorses a campaign to promote marriage equality.

"I am Barbara Bush, and I am a New Yorker for marriage equality," she says in the video. "New York is about fairness and equality. And everyone should have the right to marry the person that they love."

3. I couldn't remember which one was which
but I just knew it had to be the dark haired one. The blond always acted so much like her father, I couldn't see it being her. I was right.

6. Me too. I always wondered about her. She had an air of awareness that the others didn't.
