But I find it fascinating that many (not all) anti-gay-parent folks here on FR are willing to give Mary Cheney a pass simply because she's the daughter of a favored Republican.
If this were the gay daughter of Democrats they'd want to string her up and/or throw her out of the country, and/or say it was all the fault of her Democrat parents. Where is the condemnation they heap on the opposition? Why is this not Dick and Lynne Cheney's "faults" for how they raised their daughter? I sense some uneasy hypocrisy.
Understand, my own opinion is:
We ought to just wish them well and be comforted in the knowledge that their new family addition will be happy and loved. And leave them all alone.

Well said.
* A married man and woman are the best combination for parents raising children.
* Mary's situation is none of our business.
* It's also not a matter for the media to gawk at or gossip about.
* Dick and Lynne are not "at fault" for their daughter's homosexuality, nor for her becoming a gay parent. It's Mary's life and her decisions. Same would be true if they were all Democrats.
* It's a shame the biological father won't have the benefits and responsibilities of fatherhood of this baby.
* Any meaningful condemnation or blessing should, and will, come from their God, not from us.
We ought to just wish them well and be comforted in the knowledge that their new family addition will be happy and loved. And leave them all alone.
Best Post on the subject. Bless you

Veritas. I said as much in another forum and came here to see if the attitude was the same...it is...
