Jan. 19th, 2009 03:40 pmFrom a 'let's say something positive about Bush' thread on Bilerico.
In his first term, Bush held a class reunion of the all-male class he was in at Yale. However, one of his classmates was a MtF transsexual. Bush welcomed her to the White House by saying something to the affect, "Nice to see that you got to finally be yourself."
I need to verify this happened, but if it did...okay. Considering how transphobic this whole country is, that is a wonderful thing. It makes no sense in the context of other things done, but it's still awesome.
As is this song. Before you clickie...it's about gay parenting. It's hip-hop...but it's beautiful.
ETA: Gay Bash by the same artist, even more touching.
