Our daughter Mary and her long time partner, Heather Poe, were married today in Washington, DC, the Cheneys said.

Mary and Heather have been in a committed relationship for many years, and we are delighted that they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to have that relationship recognized, the Cheneys said. Mary and Heather and their children are very important and much loved members of our family and we wish them every happiness.
We are all so happy for Heather and Mary and their beautiful kids, friend and former Cheney adviser Mary Matalin told TheDC. Happy and moved by the blessing of their commitment and strength.
Same here, I have several gay friends. They're great people and they are productive citizens in society. I would never ever dream of discriminating against them because of what they do in their bedroom.
How sweet.

[ Finding a truly happy gay couple is like finding a minority of a minority of a minority. Like finding a Black Jewish Conservative.
Agreed.......although I’m not sure what “intersexed from birth” really means. ]
They were born somewhere inbetween male and female and the doctor advised the parents that they should make the child a girl because it was “easier to dig a hole than pitch a tent”. She probably should have been sent inthe other direction but she was raised and socialized as a girl, but her chromosomes are kinda messed up, as in they are XXY. She prefers living as a woman because she was raised that way, but is attracted to women because of her genes and prenatal brain wiring.
I cant imagine a true conseravative person having queer friends and supporting sodomy.
Some people are genetically more inclined to become an alcoholic(me included)
But my dad never encouraged me to become one.
I am commanded by G-d to turn away from such as these...

Correction, Mary Cheney has two children the other woman has none. ]
Scarily there is work being done in science to create Gametes from adult stem cells this has the positive advantage of allowing people who have lost their gonads via accident or cancer to reproduce, but that allows EVERYONE to be a SPERM/EGG donor!!!!!!
Yikes! These are the same people who would likely be screaming out loud about the horrors of some Monsanto genetically-modified corn.
But they'll mix their bone marrow with somebody else's egg and a third person's sperm in some heated lab petri dish, to produce glow-in-the-dark, superstrong albino midget babies who can time travel and levitate or other mutations.
Really, human babies should only be made according to the original recipe.
As a christian, I know that God loves all sinners, though He abhors sin. He has opened a way for sinners to repent and be reconciled to Him through His Son. Now that is compassion.

The way I have seen it through observation is that it is kinda like alcoholism.
The “Homoesexual Lifestyle” is a way of promoting those who may be predisposed to it to “join in on the fun”....
Imagine if there was a group actively promoting the “Alcoholic Lifestyle” (well besides celebrity-tard culture)..... The Libs would be screaming bloody murder about it...
Imagine re-naming any event where Alcohol is drank into a “Alcohol Pride” event....
What would the alcohol pride flag look like, I would imagine a stripy flag with Yellow (for beer), Red (for wine), Green (for green apple schnapps) and transparent/wite for everclear.........
If any of my children were homosexuals, I would be devastated. I can’t imagine saying I was proud of them. I would love them, but would never say I was happy for them or proud of them. I would pray for them to see God’s plan and to abandon their sinful lifestyle.
That was vulgar, crude and uncalled for.
Sam Cheney ‘64!
Carefully worded congratulations by all, the word “marriage” is not used
Dick and Lynn Cheney always have stood behind their daughter and loved her. They are good parents
At least her children have Grandpa for a male role model, and I hope they have him for many more years.
Mazel Tov to the Cheneys
