Religious right BLASTS Mary Cheney's "flaunting" of her homosexuality
Oh yeah. Let the meltdown begin. It was only a matter of time before the religious right took on the First Dyke (or second dyke?) I sincerely hope we're going to hear loud and public outrage from the White House and the Cheney family about this outrageous, mean-spirited, willing-to-do-anything attack on their tender young daughter.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer girl.
From the religious right propaganda organ AgapePress:
...A Virginia pro-family advocate says the people who helped re-elect President Bush don't support homosexual relationships -- the administration apparently does. Joe Glover, president of the Family Policy Network, has worked tirelessly for family values, including the fight against legalized homosexual "marriage." He says it was conservative Christians who put the president back in office and who held to the belief that the president shared their views. But Glover says the day after the election, that all seemed to go out the window. "The day after George Bush was elected president again, because of this morals revolution taking place in our country, he allows his vice president to not only put his lesbian daughter on the platform, but to bring her lesbian 'partner' up on the stage with him," Glover says. "It almost seems to be a slap in the face from the get-go against the very conservatives that re-elected the president at a time when he ought to paying them some homage and respect." Glover says the Cheney daughter's open flaunting of her homosexuality is the antithesis of what the administration claims to stand for -- and that the post-election display sends a mixed message to Bush supporters.
I guess girl-date wasn't part of the mandate.
