THE HUGEST GAY RIGHTS STORY YOU WILL NEVER SEE.

George Bush. Gay rights champion. Yup.

From Gay Patriot:

President Bush signed the Worker, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 (WRERA) two days before Christmas. The new law makes it mandatory for businesses to roll over retirement benefits to a same-sex partner in the event of the employee’s death.

Previously, employers could decline and surviving same-sex partners would have to pay tax on the inheritance of the deceased partner’s retirement savings. Legally married heterosexual couples automatically avoid that tax penalty.

How interesting that this hasn’t been well-reported. Why? Because by signing this into law, President George W. Bush has, by law, done more for gays than any other President in history. President William Jefferson Clinton, on the other hand, signed two laws (DOMA and DADT) that put gay rights progress into full reverse.

Bush increased American gay rights, Clinton took away American gay rights. Facts are facts.
