Jeb! is back...with the same hate as before

According to the Sun-Sentinel, Jeb! is back on the anti-gay bandwagon.

Gov. Jeb Bush said Friday night he's moving away from a longstanding position that there's no need for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages.

At a fundraiser for the Florida Family Policy Council, a conservative group that backs such a ban, Bush said courts in other states overturning laws banning gay marriages have led him to the conclusion that a change to the Florida Constitution might be necessary.

"We may be at that point in our state," he said.

By the way, The Florida Family Policy Council is the same organization that pressed lawmakers and the courts last year to keep Terri Schiavo on a feeding tube.

Lovely group of people, deciding who gets to live...regardless of their wishes.

"The governor is effectively fundraising for an organization that wants to put discrimination right into our constitution," said Brian Winfield, an Equality Florida spokesman.

"It's an embarrassment to have the Republicans cater to a rabid antigay group," he said. "The governor is supposed to represent all Floridians, and I don't believe that most people in Florida think like this group."

He is also supposed to keep his morals to himself.
