Mary Cheney, the vice president's openly gay daughter, is pregnant. She and her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe, are "ecstatic" about the baby, due in late spring, said a source close to the couple.
It's a baby boom for grandparents Dick and Lynne Cheney: Their older daughter, Elizabeth, went on leave as deputy assistant secretary of state before having her fifth child in July. "The vice president and Mrs. Cheney are looking forward with eager anticipation to the arrival of their sixth grandchild," spokesman Lea Anne McBride said last night.
Cheney, 37, was a key aide to her father during the 2004 reelection campaign and now is vice president for consumer advocacy at AOL. Poe, 45, a former park ranger, is renovating their Great Falls home.
News of the pregnancy will undoubtedly reignite the debate about gay marriage. During the campaign, Mary Cheney was criticized by gay activists for not being more publicly supportive of same-sex marriage. Her father said people "ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to" but deferred to the president's policy supporting a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages. Cheney herself called the proposed amendment "a gross affront to gays and lesbians everywhere" in her book, "Now It's My Turn: A Daughter's Chronicle of Political Life," which was published in May.
Cheney has described her relationship with Poe -- whom she took to last year's White House dinner honoring Prince Charles and Camilla-- as a marriage. The two met in 1988 while playing ice hockey and began dating four years later. They moved from Colorado to Virginia a year ago to be closer to Cheney's family.

I hope they have a healthy baby and wish them well.
Congrats to Mary. I think she's just darling and I don't care what anyone thinks of my opinion on this.
I think that the majority of conservatives still want to stay out of bedrooms. They don't care what people do in their bedrooms, but they think that same-sex marriage and adoptions, by gays, should be illegal. These actions don't involve bedrooms, since not many people get married in a bedroom or adopt in a bedroom.
They could have simply adopted me and avoided in advance all those problems with teen pregnancy, skateboarding chemicalized skinhead youth, homeschooling versus private school, high car insurance, childhood diseases, and on and on.
True, but you skipped over the part about "private lives."
Doesn't have to be in the bedroom to be none of our business.
Read Romans
In Afghanistan or Iran, I'm sure such laws are already in place.
Drama Queen
That's your Opus?
They sure don't make 'em like they used to.
The Bible contains more than the words of Jesus, often highlighted in red letters. With regard to homosexuality or other sexual immorality, start with the second half of Romans 1.
They are open homosexuals in public.
Homosexuality is ONLY about sex.
They put their homosexual behavior in public.
their sex lives are public.
Its part of the homosexual fetish to be public.
Also society has a vested interest in promoting the father of the child and the mother of the child form a family unit. This "union" is only about their sexual gratification. The child has nothing to do with Mary Cheny sex partner other than the mental damage the child WILL be cause in the homosexual environment.
I think we should alert Mr. DeMille that he's ready for his close-up....
37 and 45 are advanced ages to be playing with dolls in the bedroom.
Define,"NORMAL". How far back in ones history do the "deciders" of "NORMAL" go back? Two years...20 years....6 months? Is it ever up for review? Do we continue to test for the "normalcy" of the parents throughout the raising of the child, and then take the child away from the parents if they no longer meet the definition, whatever that definition may be?
Romans is by Paul. He was not a disciple, and never met Christ. In it he recapitulates Old Testament theology.
When did Christ speak of homosexuality?
Gad that's nasty.
You either believe the whole bible is the divine word of God and should be treated as a whole not just pick and choose the bits you want or not.
