George W. Bush's daughter Barbara is latest high-profile figure to add her voice to the fight to win marriage. The former first daughter appears in a new video from the Human Right Campaign as part of their collection called "New Yorkers for Marriage Equality." She has been previously featured as one of Freedom to Marry’s Voices for Equality.

In the video she says, “Everyone should have the right to marry the person that they love.”

Barbara joins other a growing number of Americans who have announced their support for the freedom to marry including Margaret Hoover, Meghan McCain, Ken Mehlman, and Mary Cheney. Barbara's choice to speakout is especially notable because she does not usually comment on political issues.
