You must have missed Mary Cheney's appearances on ABC's "Primetime" and the "Late Show with David Letterman" last May, promoting her autobiography "Now It's My Turn." And after the 2004 vice presidential debate (the one in which John Edwards mentioned her being a lesbian), when Mary Cheney and her partner both appeared on the stage with the rest of the Cheney family. And when Mary served on the board of the Republican Unity Coalition, an organization that says its purpose was "about one big idea: making homosexuality a 'non-issue' for the Republican Party." Of course there's also before she got involved in politics, when she served as a gay and lesbian outreach coordinator for Coors Brewing Company. And in only the last thing you mentioned did she say ANYTHING at all about being a lesbian.
What would you have her do, just disappear off the face of the earth?
Never mind. I think I know the answer to that one.

From Wikipedia: Mary Cheney left the public spotlight after the 2004 election until May 4, 2006, when she gave an interview with Diane Sawyer for ABC News's Primetime program. Cheney did the interview to garner publicity for her new autobiography titled Now It's My Turn. She discusses how she came out to her parents, noting her father's initial reaction: "You know, look, you're my daughter and I love you and I just want you to be happy." She also discusses her 14-year relationship with her partner Heather Poe, but she remains noticeably ambivalent about her relationship with the Republican Party.

That's two things you're wrong about in one post! You're usually pretty good at "getting" posts like mine, so I'll give you a pass on this one.
