Here's why. This is complete insanity. Just remember, some of you voted for this administration:
Charles & Camilla Caught As Bush Gay Marriage Attack Spreads To Heteros
by Peter Moore 365Gay.com London Bureau
(London) The Bush Administration's attacks on same-sex marriage have now been expanded to include unmarried heterosexuals and divorced people - resulting on a ban of Camilla Parker Bowles from the White House.
The Administration is pushing its traditional marriage initiative aimed at keeping straight families from breaking up and banning gay marriage.
London's Sunday Sun reports that the White House has scuttled plans by Prince Charles to take Camilla on a Royal tour of the US later this year after they marry in a civil ceremony.
The Sun reports that the Royal household was told that Camilla, who will have the title Her Royal Highness Princess Consort after Charles becomes king, is not welcome at the White House because she is a divorcee.
The reports do no mention that Charles is also a divorcee.
The President, according to sun told palace aides it was "inappropriate" for him to be play host to the newly-weds.
The paper notes that the decision was made even though the late President Ronald Reagan was divorced. The Sun quotes a government insider as saying "It was relayed to us from Washington that Mrs Parker Bowles would not be welcome at the White House.
"The Americans are aware that the visit will be subject to a lot of media attention and did not want the President drawn into what they view to be a public relations exercise.
The Administration's new push could result in non traditional straight families supporting gays in fighting a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
"Every family should be respected," Human Rights Campaign spokesperson Steven Fisher told 365Gay.com. "There is diversity in the types of families in America and around the world and every family should be respected."
The Sun quoting a British government source said the Prince's US tour will likely be called off in light of the President's snub. It would have been his first State visit to America since Princess Diana's death seven years ago.
"The potential fall-out from this decision could be massive," the Sun quotes the source as saying.
The trip, which has been planned for three years, was being portrayed as a "trade mission" and Charles and Camilla were expected to dine with Mr Bush and his wife Laura at the White House.

Isn't the SUN a tabloid? First, it seems that this article is mixing two things.
1) Same-sex marriage issue
and trying to link it to:
2) Divorcee's getting married.
As much as I have disdain for the Bush administration, I find it VERY hard to believe they would be so bold to go after divorced people. Second, I would tend to agree the Bush administration may not want to be involved in Charles trying to put a positive spin on his marriage which is frowned on in Britain. Very unpopular. That to me, seems the more likely scenario rather than some moralist campaign against divorce.
