Nancy Reagan personally called an 11-year-old girl to invite her to 1984's roll after learning that a campaign worker said the girl wouldn't be welcome due to her support for Walter Mondale. More than 100 same-sex couples showed up at the event in 2006 with their children in an organized effort to show President Bush "that gay families exist in this country," in the words of one organizer; critics accused them of "crashing" the event. The Obamas specifically welcomed gay families this year, distributing tickets directly...
