Promoting her book “Spoken From The Heart” former first lady Laura Bush reveals she disagreed with George on gay marriage and abortion on Larry King Live:
In her book, Spoken From the Heart, she reveals that, during the run up to the 2004 election, she urged her husband not to make gay marriage a prominent part of his campaign given the “social issue” it had become, writing:
“Before the election season had unfolded, I had talked to George about not making gay marriage a significant issue. We have, I reminded him, a number of close friends who are gay or whose children are gay. But at that moment I could never have imagined what path this issue would take and where it would lead.”
