Laura Bush asks to be removed from same-sex marriage advert
Former first lady Laura Bush has asked an organisation to remove a video clip of her from an advert promoting same-sex marriage – with the group having failed to ask for her permission.
Laura Bush “did not approve of her inclusion in this advertisement nor is she associated with the group that made the ad in any way,” said the former first lady’s spokeswoman Anne MacDonald.
“When she became aware of the advertisement last night, we requested that the group remove her from it,” she added.
In 2004, Mr Bush endorsed a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
