Abstract
Former President George H. W. Bush and his wife Barbara attended a wedding last year that made national news. According to The Washington Post, the elder Bushes attended the wedding of two lesbians, Bonnie Clement and Helen Thorgalsen, held at Kennebunkport, Maine. No one should be surprised by the opening line of the Post report: "Another prominent Republican has come out in support of same-sex marriage—or, at least, in support of one particular same-sex marriage."
