Maxey said Bush once took him aside to draw a line between his personal relationships and his politics.
"He pulled me over really close, almost nose-to-nose, and said, 'Glen, I like you as a person. I respect you as a human being. I want you to know that what I say publicly about gay people doesn't apply to you,'" Maxey recalled in a telephone interview.
Maxey, who was angered by Bush's opposition to gay adoption, said he replied, "Governor, when you say that a gay person is not fit to be a parent, you're talking about me."
I'm sure we can look forward to the spin on this being "See! Bush isn't against gays! He just exploits anti-gay bigotry to obtain power!" as if that makes it better somehow.
