Former President George W. Bush's daughter Barbara has announced her support for gay marriage, breaking with her father on a key social issue but joining her mother and other prominent Republicans who back same-sex unions.

The Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights organization, released a video Tuesday featuring the 29-year old Bush, a New York resident who runs Global Health Corps, a nonprofit public health organization.

"I'm a New Yorker for marriage equality,'' Bush says in the video. "New York is about fairness and equality and everyone should have the right to marry the person that they love.''
