Last week Laura Bush and Condoleeza Rice officiated at the swearing in ceremony for Mark Dybul, the new Global Aids Coordinator.
Present at the event were Mr. Dybul , his parents, his partner Jason and Jason's mother.
Condi's opening remarks:
SECRETARY RICE: Thank you. Thank you very much. I am truly honored and delighted to have the opportunity to swear in Mark Dybul as our next Global AIDS Coordinator. I am pleased to do that in the presence of Mark's parents, Claire and Richard; his partner, Jason; and his mother-in-law, Marilyn. You have wonderful family to support you, Mark, and I know that's always important to us. Welcome.
By referring to Jason's mom as Mark's mother in-law she is tacitly acknowledging gay Marriage. You can't have a mother in-law without a marriage can you?
Yet another example of how the White House plays lip service to the religious right.
