would be better parents than gay men.Nancy
Dreyer, a mother in a two-mom family, has noticed this in her
own life."With gay male friends of ours who have kids, people will
say, 'My gosh, who takes care of this baby?'
as if they're not capable," says Dreyer, whose 57 and lives in
suburban Boston.The assumption, she says, is that men aren't nurturing.
And if they're too nurturing, she says, people get suspicious, noting that
no one has ever questioned her and her partner about their ability
to raise their son, who's now in college.She's noticed the different ways
society treats gay men and lesbians, partly because she has a brother,
Benjamin Dreyer, who's gay. The Dreyer siblings say it's difficult to compare
their experiences because Benjamin came out in college, and Nancy in her
early 30s.So he was the first to tell their parents. "They yelled

a bullhorn and, standing with a New York City firefighter amid the
rubble of the twin towers, declared that the people who knocked these
buildings down will hear all of us soon." During that period, Bush
earned the gratitude of all Americans, including those opposed to him politically,
Brinkley said.I think that because 9/11 is such a defining moment in
our lives -- like Pearl Harbor or the Kennedy assassination -- people
will start remembering 9/11, Brinkley told Fox News. George W. Bush, in
my opinion, did a pretty good job of uniting the country in
those weeks of dire need. He communicated well; the government functioned."Brinkley
noted the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and specific security
enhancements at Americas airports."And we did not get hit again. We werent
struck again after 9/11," Brinkley said. "He did the best he could.Bush's
legacy, however, also will be inextricably tied to the still-evolving fates
of the countries he ordered American troops to invade in the aftermath
of 9/11: Afghanistan and Iraq. The president, as well as aides like
