Laura Bush, the wife of former President George W. Bush, recently spoke out against her inclusion in a Respect for Marriage video advertisement.
“When couples are committed, they ought to have, I think, the same rights that everyone has,” Mrs. Bush told CNN's Larry King in 2010 when asked if she personally supported marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples.
Other prominent political leaders, like former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Vice President Dick Cheney and President Barack Obama are also included in the ad.
