as a lesbian

[gospelized]

i wish a plague on the entire cheney family. including mary if she doesn't come out against this disgusting attitude of faux outrage by her parents and the media.

i want to spit in lynn's face. i really do.

1. You'll need to stand in line.

2. As a mom, I appreciate your opinion.

And I agree. If my daughter declared her love/lifelong commitment to another woman, I certainly would not be ashamed of someone stating the obvious - she would be who she was born to be! And, I intend to celebrate whoever that is!

3. They probably threatened to strike her from their will if she does! nm

4. How do you feel, as a compassionate human being?

Your sexuality should make no difference. Isn't that the point?

[gospelized]

5. i see your point

but i'm offended most really not by the cheney attitude. it's to be expected of them. they are disgusting human beings. i'm offended most by the attitude of the media in covering this story like there is any validity to it at all.

i view it as a covert homophobia. and that offends me as a lesbian and a human being.

7. I agree. And it's not even very "covert."

It's pretty blatant, really.

6. as a mother I feel so angry at them

to put politics before family ...SHAMEFUL

8. I don't think a real media would have given them

a platform for this stupid outrage. I hope Mary decides that being true to herself is more important than the blood money to be gained from an inheritance.

How does she know that they haven't already cut her out from the will with a dollar bequest?

9. As a bisexual woman married to a lesbian woman...

...find the Cheney's attitude towards their daughter Mary to be nothing short of deplorable.

Also, Lynne's 'outrage' makes it clear she considers Mary's sexual orientation to be shameful. Otherwise there'd be no issue at all with Kerry mentioning it during an UTTERLY appropos moment during last night's debate.

Of course, there's nothing these foul people won't stoop to.

11. Mary Cheney

Interesting that there was no "outrage" at the remarks Edwards made during the VP debate. Makes me believe this is entirely political--aimed solely at taking the emphasis off Bush's performance last night!

10. Lynne Cheney is a skank.

Her feigned "outrage" was just politics and nothing else.

She is a seasoned political (dirty) operative and this is just another way for her to use Mary to help the B/C campaign.

This gave her an opportunity to lash out against Kerry and she's probably gloating about it to the BFEE about it right now.

[GRLMGC]

12. She's a horrible person

She's a history revisionist, she's mean spirited, and she won't accept her daughter. She makes me sick

[sonicx]

13. i want Lynn to be outraged at Alan Keyes

he actually said something negative, but she ignored it. i would have ripped him apart.

[phish420]

14. As a gay man, I second that!...nt

[zara]

15. why would mary cheney show integrity now...

when's she's been shlepping for the anti-gay agenda for years?
