Remembering President Ford as Gay Rights Supporter



Page One Q reprints an interesting piece today wherein former president Gerald Ford, who died yesterday
, voiced his support for gay rights in a 2001 interview with lesbian journalist Deb Price.

"I think they ought to be treated equally. Period," Ford declared. Asked specifically whether gay couples should get the same Social Security, tax and other federal benefits as married couples, he replied, "I don't see why they shouldn't. I think that's a proper goal."
