Gay couple buy JebBushForPresident.com, and won’t give it up [View all]

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.
