It was the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House this past Monday. The above picture is a shot from a CBS.com photo essay about the White House Easter celebration. Something unique about this year's festivities was the presence of many same-sex couples with their children, all clad in rainbow-colored lei's to identify themselves. (Not that there was any question.)
Did gay couples use the egg roll as a publicity stunt, or did they just come out to see President Bush standing next to a staff member in an easter bunny suit? Though I feel that gay couples have every right to be rolling eggs on the White House lawn, I feel like it was a pathetic attempt to make a political statement.
Keep in mind that we're talking about the guy that in 2004 supported a constiutional ammendment to ban same-sex marriages, and who feels the "ideal" way to raise a child is in a married family with a man and a woman. I'm not sure the presence of gay couples at the egg roll will have any effect on his opinion
John and David's son can roll an egg with the best of them, as long as his rainbow lei doesn't get in the way.
