She says she considered quitting her role as campaign adviser over the issue of gay marriage, but Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter Mary Cheney tells ABC News "Primetime" anchor Diane Sawyer her sexuality has never created problems within her family.

Mary Cheney discussed the campaign, her feelings about President Bush, life with her partner of 14 years, and what it was like to come out as gay to her parents.

"I struggled with my decision to stay on the 2004 campaign," Cheney told "Primetime." Her personal challenge came when President Bush said the nation must defend the sanctity of marriage.

Was any "gay" person ever born genetically pre-disposed to jam his penis into another man's anus?

You are collosally ignorant.

Well in your case, if you're trying to get into people's bedrooms - let me know how it goes(g)

[JCEccles]

Are you suggesting they are honored and pleased she has embraced the homosexual lifestyle?

And some people choose to make others miserable

Yes. For example, place-seeking parents who abandon their children to nannies and day care. Abandoned children who, in turn, find the most vile behavior to get their parents' attention. It's all about misery and making others as miserable as they have made you.

"Look at me, Mommy. Look at me! I'm gay! I'm gay! Look at me!"

Naw, I just find passing judgement on other people and how they choose or don't choose to live their lives enormous fun...it makes me feel better about myself and my own diminished position in society.

So, don't even think about wearing white after Labor Day! At least not while I'm around.

Myself, as the atheist I am, think it is imperative as a matter of biological survival to isolate homosexuals from society. They only spread communicable disease and mental deviancy, they should be quarantined.

Why not kill them? You're an atheist; there are no eternal consequences in your world view, so killing homosexuals ought to preferable to a quarantine.

What gives you the right to put human beings into camps? Are you afraid some gay guy is going to molest you?

Was Freudian psychoanalytic theory of sexual stages in psychological development more accurate than accredited?

The Michael Jackson Complex is fixation on mutilation of and deviance with human anatomy in the media. It is a social psychosis catering to the lowest common denominator and generated with Pavlovian behavioral conditioning in popular culture.

Should we really be canonizing special societal privileges in the law based on idolatrous fetishes?

[JCEccles]

We judge behavior. We all do. Including you. Homosexual behavior is no better than adultery. Both are destructive of the soul and damaging to the traditional family.

[Howlin]

What in the hell are you talking about?

[Sunsong]

You write a long post - but hardly say anything(g). You are an atheist who believes in Moses??? and Genesis???

You are free to hate as much as you want to. I'm sorry for you - but I would not take away your choice.

You are also free to hold any ideology you want to.

You are welcome to the taleban Christians as well. Free to choose who you like to be asociated with.

[Antoninus]

But you sure can expose yourself as one of the modern day pharisees

Friend, all you got is ad hominem. As such, your end of the debate looks like the loser.

[JCEccles]

Do you believe the homosexual lifestyle should be celebrated and encouraged?

[Howlin]

Naw, I just find passing judgement on other people and how they choose or don't choose to live their lives enormous fun...it makes me feel better about myself and my own diminished position in society.

ROFLMAO! :-)

[Howlin]

Do you believe the homosexual lifestyle should be celebrated and encouraged?

Kindly post anywhere I have said anything close to that.

[Sunsong]

And some people choose to focus on others' sins and do nothing about their own.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Why not kill them?

Why not cure them? It is a mental disorder like your liberalism...

[JCEccles]

Now that you're finished cackling like a hyena, do you have an answer to my question?

[sinkspur]

Are you suggesting they are honored and pleased she has embraced the homosexual lifestyle?

I'm suggesting that they love their daughter. They don't judge her.

Judging the state of other people's souls are what busybodys do, so the Cheneys let you and your cohorts condemn their daughter to hell.

Which is better? Loving someone or condemning them?

[durasell]

To be truthful (and to put the joking aside) -- I find that those who judge others with particular harshness have indulged in a soul killing vice.

So yeah, we all judge -- but I recognize those judgements as approaching something of a failing. A human weakness.

[Antoninus]

You are collosally ignorant.

I'm not the one who answers questions with personal attacks. Surely you've been on FR long enough to know the rules.
