Talk about being hypocrites.. This is from the White House website.
Here are excerpt comments from John from DC on Americablog:
Did you catch that last sentence? The White House officially recognized a lesbian couple as co-equal parents of a child. That not only is a recognition of the legitimacy of gay parents - i.e., if one person is the birth mother and the other the mother's partner, both are the "parents" of the child, per the White House - but the White House is also, implicitly, recognizing the legitimate couple status of two gay people in love, i.e., they are not simply two unrelated gay people, they are parents, akin to your parents, akin to a married couple. Why do I say that the White House is de facto recognizing gay marriage? Because either Mary or her lover, or both, are not the biological mom of this child - with two women, only one can be the biological parent. For the White House to recognize both as parents means that they are recognizing the legitimacy of the two women as one entity, the parent. Anyway, it's a hell of a statement by any White House, let alone one of the most conservative in history, and one that prides itself on being so anti-gay.

And all of the Bible belt that voted this GOP in for the God ticket reasons, must be really dissapointed. Oh, well, maybe they will vote for intelligence next time.
This is certainly a lesson of being hypocrite: one minute banning gay marriages, gay rights, or gay adoptions and now Dick's daughter and her partner has a son and now the Administration now accepts this. What about other gay couples that were stripped their rights by the Gerbil?
