Charles & Camilla Caught As Bush Gay Marriage Attack Spreads To Heteros
by Peter Moore 365Gay.com London Bureau
(London) The Bush Administration's attacks on same-sex marriage have now been expanded to include unmarried heterosexuals and divorced people - resulting on a ban of Camilla Parker Bowles from the White House.
The Administration is pushing its traditional marriage initiative aimed at keeping straight families from breaking up and banning gay marriage.
London's Sunday Mirror and Sun reports that the White House has scuttled plans by Prince Charles to take Camilla on a Royal tour of the US later this year after they marry in a civil ceremony.
The papers report that the Royal household was told that Camilla, who will have the title Her Royal Highness Princess Consort after Charles becomes king, is not welcome at the White House because she is a divorcee.
The reports do no mention that Charles is also a divorcee.
The President, according to sun told palace aides it was "inappropriate" for him to be play host to the newly-weds.
The papers note that the decision was made even though the late President Ronald Reagan was divorced. The Sun quotes a government insider as saying "It was relayed to us from Washington that Mrs Parker Bowles would not be welcome at the White House.
"The Americans are aware that the visit will be subject to a lot of media attention and did not want the President drawn into what they view to be a public relations exercise.
The Administration's new push could result in non traditional straight families supporting gays in fighting a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
"Every family should be respected," Human Rights Campaign spokesperson Steven Fisher told 365Gay.com. "There is diversity in the types of families in America and around the world and every family should be respected."
The Sun quoting a British government source said the Prince's US tour will likely be called off in light of the President's snub. It would have been his first State visit to America since Princess Diana's death seven years ago.
"The potential fall-out from this decision could be massive," the Sun quotes the source as saying.
The trip, which has been planned for three years, was being portrayed as a "trade mission" and Charles and Camilla were expected to dine with Mr Bush and his wife Laura at the White House.

Bush is a raving lunatic......
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Not even a poison ivy bush

Maybe that subject header is too acidic (and I readily apologize to any patriot who is offended), but something needs to be done to shake the most powerful nation on earth from its incipient dementia.
To my mind this is just ridiculous: http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1171983,00.html

I regret it all comes back to that bunch of total jerks "The Pilgrim Fathers". We exported the fundamentalist bastards because we did not want them. The USA got them.
It has only recently opened up its sex laws to allow heterosexal people in Virginoa to have sex in positions other thqat the missionary position.
The entire nation suffers from an unwarranted and prurient interst in other people's genitalia, too.
Now, while we know for sure that Bush is a total prick, who is actually INTERESTED in him?

I remember during the Clinton/Monica Show that an Australian politician was heard to remark that Britain sent the Pilgrim Fathers to the USA and her convicts to Australia - and that Australia got the better deal.

"Condosleaza" Rice must be; how else do you suppose a total incompetent like her got to be Secretary of State (even if her "boss" is a million times more incompetent!)?

No. In fact, I think it's quite diplomatic.
