A gay couple have bought the domain JebBushForPresident.com, and have said they will not give it up, as they intend to use it to launch a site to inform the public about issues faced by LGBT people.
The domain is owned by CJ Phillips and Charlie Rainwater, who bought it in 2008.
Former Governor of Florida Jeb Bush recently called for respect to people on all sides of the marriage debate despite branding same-sex marriage a distraction during the 2012 presidential campaign.
The Republican who is the son of former President George Bush, and the younger brother of former President George W Bush is seen by many as the next potential Republican Presidential candidate.

(5,082 posts)Bush is dangerous. And evil. He is what must be stopped as well as his surrogate Hillary. Hard to swallow I know but it's true that she is a double agent for the Bush family in my opinion and I doubt anything will shake that belief.

(27,310 posts)"This commandment and doctrine comes from sacred scripture and we are not at liberty to change it," said Sister Neill Marriott, a leader in the church's women's organization.
"But, God is loving and merciful," Marriott continued. Jesus ministered to marginalized outcasts, she said by way of example, while also obeying religious commandments.
Also this:
"But, as a matter of public policy, it appears deeply flawed," said HRC Legal Director Sarah Warbelow. Doctors, landlords and business owners would still be allowed to discriminate against gays and lesbians, as long as they cited a religious reason, she said.

(750 posts)The Pink Triangle a Nazi Label
After some research on the Bush family background it is known that grandpa Prescott Bush and George Herbert Walker Bush with very deep family ties to the Union Pacific railroad and financier Herbert Walker and Harriman of the original Brown Brothers and Harriman banking company and also of the Union Pacific railroad was an integral player in world war two with financing the Nazi.
Its interesting the current close business relations the Bush family has with the Arabs now similar to the Nazi decades ago that are totally against homosexuality is interesting in conversations about hidden political agendas. It is a solid appearance the Bush family is playing the field and profiteering by exploiting a cultural divide at the expense of the American citizen.
These two gay couples may very well open secrets our government has closed for decades in Pandoras Box, or jar, or better yet a stack of Wiki files Snowden captured and eventually will make public.
My own view is that America is moving through a cultural renaissance of a different kind. The Bush family along with their business friends the Arab Isis Bin Laden family on the way to be ousted and banished from politics or even out of society.

And, the vast amounts of cash pouring into literally buy the political power of the country. There are many brilliant people in this country more than capable of being a president, congress critter, etc., but they don't stand a chance for the most part.

Germany was fascist. Fascism is the government helping business and being helped in return.
Our congress is more efficient with our support of business. We have K Street and Citizens United.

[Should] sodomy be elevated to the same constitutional status as race and religion? My answer is No.
The statement that the governor must stand up for all people on all matters is just silly. He then equated LGBT to Polluters, pedophiles, pornographers, drunk drivers, and developers without proper permits" as people the governor should not stand up for.
He's not liberal in any way about LGBT issues.
