Mary Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and onetime gay outreach director for Coors Brewing Company, gave $1,000 to a Republican Senate hopeful who voted against same-sex marriage and allowing gay couples to adopt children in the District of Columbia.

Cheney, 40, has a two-year old son with her partner of 17 years, Heather Poe. The donation to former Rep. Rob Portman (R-OH) was made in May. Portman is seeking the Senate seat that will be vacated by Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) when he retires in 2011.

Cheney’s donation is remarkable considering her public comments on same-sex marriage and gay adoption. In 2004, she reportedly considered quitting her father’s re-election campaign after President Bush endorsed a federal marriage banning gay marriage. In 2007, she rebuked televangelist James Dobson for comments criticizing gay couples’ adoption.

“Every piece of remotely responsible research that has been done in the last 20 years has shown there is no difference between children raised by same-sex parents and children raised by opposite-sex parents,” Cheney said. “What matters is being raised in a stable, loving environment.”

Too often they're confused about whether to just hate themselves or everyone else.

:puke:

I don't know the smiley code for the crazy face. But that's what I'd put here. Weeeeeeeeeee....

words to the effect, 'how dare you artificially impregnate yourself - you will have resources that will give your child insulation from homophobia directed at his mother, and those who may look to you as a role model and follow your path are unlikely to bear children with futures as fortunate as your child's' .... THAT is the kind of bullshit Mary's money is helping to spread.

I compliment her 17 year partnership - that's way-cool.

But she's doing herself a disservice, unless she is getting special treatment.

She should apologize to John Kerry as well. He did nothing wrong. He did not out her, she was already out - long before he said a peep in 2004.

authority on national affairs anyway. She is a phony, schooled by her corrupt father and mother.

SICK FUCK

Named after the Jews the Third Reich got to play along and run the ghettos for them, for those unaware of 20th C.
history.

Guess she never noticed that a large number of dear ol' Dad's supporters would be happy to see her locked
away (or worse) behind gates labelled "Heterosexuell Macht Frei".

because the "rules" don't apply to her. Not that those rules should apply to any gay couple, but asshole repugs are doing their best. But will always make exceptions for their own.

for criticizing the administration and supposedly being "one issue" voters (which is straight code for STFU). So if we are to be consistent with that line of thinking, Mary should then be commended by these same people, because she obviously supports Portman overall, on a broad array of concerns, despite disagreeing with him on gay related issues.

Good for Mary. She's not a "one issue" voter.

Right? ;)

After careful consideration, the mods have decided to lock this thread due to uncomfortable truths being rammed in the faces of homophobic DUers.
