Your generalization makes me wonder about you.
The situation with Alan Keyes and his daughter is not parallel. IIRC, his daughter is very rebellious in other ways as well.
You're right, but then no two situations are completely alike. I was just trying to say that the Cheneys were much more supportive than other parents in similar situations.
I have several gay friends who are good people. I don't like the 'in your face' gays but generally they don't bother me.
