Mary Cheney, the openly gay daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has married her long-time partner Heather Poe, The Daily Caller has learned.
Cheney spokeswoman Kara Ahern confirmed to TheDC that the couple married Friday morning in Washington, D.C.
In a statement provided to TheDC, both the former vice president and his wife, Lynne, said they are “delighted” the couple could have their “relationship recognized.”
“Our daughter Mary and her long time partner, Heather Poe, were married today in Washington, DC,” the Cheneys said.
Poe and Mary Cheney have two children: Cheney gave birth to a son in 2007, and a daughter in 2009. They live together in Virginia.
“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.”
“but what the heck is he to say? “Damn you you lesbian sinners!!!”
How about, “I love my daughter and hope she will repent of her sin and open rebellion against God and the laws of nature. I will not pretend she is married.”
The Cheney’s are wonderful people, Dick and his wife, Lynne and daughter Liz and, although I don’t know much about her, the other daughter is apparently a good person who has been in a long-term loving relationship.
I would lose all respect for them if they didn’t stand up for their daughter.
I always stood up for my kids.
Also, for those who want to say "faggot" in public but lack the nerve, they can type it here. Over and over.
Thank you.
The ugliness and outright nastiness of many posters on this thread is disturbing.
These people are far more vicious about two women who, aside from their sexual preferences, have lived exemplary lives, than any of the coments I read on the Sandusky threads.
And to turn on the wonderful Cheney family because of it ... I gotta say, it makes me sick.
That group is laughable. Their hang-up with FR is almost a neurotic obsession bordering on psychosis.
Hope Bob and the other sour grapes gang there saw the homofest at the Reagan pic in the White House speaking of tolerance.
Nah. He's still trolling this thread for that site.
The story is promoting an agenda that many don't agree with. Why else would this merit a headline?
you are a hero over at TBL
i know you have been here since JR’s first burp but if we are so horrible it begs the question?
why stay?
for conservatives to resist the homosexual agenda even if the Cheney's unfortunately drink the kool aid is not something I scorn
as do you
why are so many of you early freepers so lame on culture war?
many of you have left...and live to now bash this site...but when i read the social commentary it reads more like former Democrats who couldn't stand Slick or libertarians or Northeastern GOP sorts
and yes I hear tell you are Texan...even born there
Do you support homosexual marriage and homosexual adoption and open military service?
Do you think there is a higher incidence of pedophilia or pederasty in that community then the heterosexual community?
and do you think homosexuals are more often than not neurotic?
I'll answer my own view....no on homosexual marriage and same sex adoption and open military service
yes I think they are more often to seek sexual pleasure from kids...or teens...especially gay men turning out boys
and yes I think they are more often neurotic and their sexual peccadilloes are part of a larger picture...
you can answer if you like...all that said I'm saying to run you off but your self righteous indignation at us is not much different than the race baiting self righteous indignation we see here a bit too
it must be weird for you...can't stomach the left but consider current company bigoted small minded people with antiquated views on homosexuality
I like the Cheneys too but think they are out to lunch on this
I believe you are female ...have you ever considered googling with your filter off what gay men consider pleasure?
My mother was a fag hag as was my wife....I pressured them to educate themselves about the fact that homosexuality is more than witty thin men who have good taste and are creative and love to dress women...and do it well i might add
I don't think most women who think homosexuals are cutesy really know much about it...just saying
if you are a man-dog like me and peruse the net looking at naked girls at times you will invariably see something queer pop up....and it will shock you like a car wreck...the old Pacino movie Cruising touched on it till the Velvet Mafia in Hollywood made sure that kernel of truth never sees the light of day again
but you don't even have to do that...just peruse the links as Gay Pride crap.....this is sick stuff dear....
I just don't see how conservatives can brush it off as "normal"
*****************************
They can't.
You are just as nasty on Tru Blue as you are here and don’t think I don’t know exactly who you are.
What do you find “nasty” about his post to you? My definition of “nasty” must be different.
We are in late stages, CB, late stages. Weimar, just before Adolf. Crazy times, kinky times, no rules, no values....
About to hit the Big Reset Button. The survivors will determine the new value system.
Perhaps after centuries of Dark Ages.
OK, drop a screen name.
The cruelty they show JR is just disgusting...they make fun of his illness(s) and his right to make a living
and given that he banned me for a year and a half after a dustup with sinkspur and howlin pretty much defines me as a non JR butt kisser doncha think?
i figure JR sees me as an eccentric somewhat over the top cracker Southerner he tolerates...and I ain't never been part of the In Crowd here...trust me
and the fact that some of those on TBL who had part in my banning (and Travis McGees) are now on TBL trashing us and JR in a very personal way speaks volumes of those posters...some of whom were ostensibly his pals 10 years ago and relished the clout they had here
just like the Clowns did towards some female freepers years back...nasty nasty stuff
i mean..making fun of someone going thru the physical crap JR has endured from the AC comfort of their keyboard with their highball in their hand is so brave and all
Huck and Less Than Tolerant I like....God bless em...and I'm sure there are others I don't know
but all that brutish crap and the What Culture War attitude ain't for me....
and the irony of calling us mean spirited and bigoted whilst ya’ll ridicule a fella in a wheel chair
I mean...does anyone there even flinch at the hypocrisy?
And you are as dishonest at your favorite FR-hating site true blue as you are here.
I’m so out of times, what hte hell is TBL?
I wish them happiness.
Marriage between a man and a womam and their commitment to raise their offspring underpins the sane and healthy aspect of our society. Lesbians have worked dillegently to pit women and men against each other and wreck the family via radical feminist legal and political activism. They have no right to do this to normal people so that they can proclaim themselves and their penis envy normal.
Laz more specifically. Will respond to everyone else later.
It isn't normal.
There's a Great Reckoning coming.
