LIVING IN THE PAST: BUSH AND THE GAY

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2092-2168332,00.html

Bush has had several gay friends in the past, and, according to them, has always been civil and open and accepting. In the 2000 election cycle a former aide, Doug Wead, secretly taped chats with Bush. On one occasion Bush was told he had to criticize gays as a way to curry favour with evangelicals. He retorted: “I’m not going to kick gays, because I’m a sinner. How can I differentiate sin?”

Sullivan's version of Our Hero relates to gays because he's a recovering alcoholic.
