“She does,” Davis said in response to the question. “I’m hesitant to speak for anyone else, and she’s not comfortable going out in the public eye and getting in the firing line of anything. So, you know, I want to be cautious about speaking on someone else’s behalf. But let me put it this way: I think if she had disagreed with what I said publicly about my father she would have said something publicly.” Davis chuckled and added, “Let’s just put it that way. That’s the most sort of politically correct way I can answer that question.”
I heard Nancy Reagan recently on CNN speaking to Anderson Cooper about Margaret Thatcher’s death. And while she sounded very old and frail, she had her wits about her. So it will be interesting to see if she acknowledges Patti’s comment or in any way responds.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

Republicans are so transparent.
They repeatedly send out the almost-politicians, those related-to or around the perifery of Sitting Politicians, to pronounce their support to the public, like Cindy McCain, Megan McCain, Laura Bush, Conservative Pundits, there are others.
RARELY are they Actual Sitting Politicians. You know,…the ones who could pass legislation?
And they think this will fool gay voters. Psssh!

Here I thought it was Patti Davis telling Michelangelo Signorelli that her mother supports marriage equality. Foolish me; I should have seen that Patti is just an emissary of the Great Secret Republican Schememeister.
Of course there’s that tiny problem that Patti Davis isn’t actually a Republican…

Presumably Nancy Regan is a Republican which was customartist’s point, she’s not a sitting politician.

No, Priya Lynn, I don’t think that was customartist’s point.
Republicans are so transparent.
They repeatedly send out …
This suggests pretty clearly that Patti Davis (and Cindy McCain, etc.) are not giving their support out of their own convictions or beliefs but are being “sent out” to do so.
It’s possible that is true for Cindy or Meghan McCain. It seems unlikely, especially in Meagan’s part, but it could be possible. How would we ever know?
But to suggest that Patti Davis is doing the bidding of the leadership of the Republican Party is absurd. And to think that Nancy Reagan, at 91, was assigned some super secret mission to manipulate her daughter into saying that Nancy supports equality so as to fool the public.. well that’s too wacky for even a tea partier to believe.
