Bush gals to see gay vows

Uh.....Yeah lets see here, according to the Advocate, Bush received an estimated 1 million gay and lesbian votes in the 2000 election. Why? Because many believed him when he said he was a uniter not a divider and a compassionate conservative. Damn fools they were! So now, with the election just weeks away and Bush down in the polls. perhaps his spin doctors and political gurus are going to try to get another one over on the GLBT community? I don't think it's going to be as easy as the uniter not a divider bull shit and sending his daughters to a gay wedding party to fool those that voted for him in the first election again. His actions have spoke volumes about how he truly feels towards the gay community. Even the gay and lesbian members of his own party have been denied entrance into his events and are now some of the more radical Bush Bashers out there. He made his bed with the Christian Coalition AND now he can sleep in it. ONE TERM AND OUT, JUST LIKE YOUR DADDY, YOU BLITHERING IDIOT!

When Washington-area beautician Erwin Gomez and his longtime partner James Packard celebrate their marital vows with 400 of their closest friends next month, two of Gomez's best customers will probably be in attendance: President Bush's twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara.

Yesterday, the 39-year-old Gomez - a makeup expert for the Elizabeth Arden shop in the D.C. suburb of Chevy Chase, Md. - told Lowdown that the First Twins have become devotees of his popular eyebrow waxes over the past few weeks.

And, Gomez added, Bush's daughters have expressed an enthusiastic desire to go to Gomez and Packard's Sept. 11 wedding celebration at their home in Laytonsville, Md.

"I gave them the party invitation, and they said, 'That sounds great, we'd love to come - it sounds like a lot of fun,'" Gomez said.

"The way they reacted, they were very open-minded."

Never mind that their father supports a constitutional ban of gay marriages.

Heterosexual marriage, Bush said in February, is "the most enduring human institution" and "cannot be severed from its cultural, religious and natural roots without weakening the good influence of society."

While Gomez holds the hard-carousing girls in high regard ("so casual and so real"), his disgust for their father's politics is obvious.

"I think it's wrong - he has no right to touch that," he said. "He's trying to change the freedom of America. ... History is repeating itself, just like blacks and Jews were discriminated against."

Gomez and Packard were "wed" last spring in San Francisco after Mayor Gavin Newsome issued them and scores of others a marriage license.

But the legality of such unions has been in question since the California Supreme Court last week declared that Newsome exceeded his authority in sanctioning gay marriages.

As for the Bush sisters, "I've done their eyebrows three times - they usually just call my cell and pop in," said Gomez, who also plucks and waxes the eyebrows of Saudi Princess Haifa.

Yesterday, the First Twins' spokeswoman, Susan Whitson, had only this to say: "At this point I cannot confirm that the twins are attending. I only comment on official campaign activities."
