Perhaps you need a little help in the reading comprehension arena. Sunsong wrote:
I hope people here can muster some common decency and show a little of the dignity and class the Cheney family demonstrates.
What part of "Cheney family" is unclear? While Mary Cheney is openly homosexual, she does not seek the limelight, or try to force her lifestyle under the noses of the rest of us. The liberal media and the democrats (but I repeat myself) do that.
The Cheney family, from the Vice President all the way down, has sought to underplay this item of (probable) tension in their family, shielding it from the glaring klieg lights, keeping it out of the withering stare of the public. I'm sure there are political considerations in that, but there is also a whole lot of "Mom and Dad love their kids unconditionally, even when they might disapprove".
If you disagree with the sentiments someone posts, say so. But to seek refuge in impugning someone's masculinity because they have the vision to see familial love at work is appalling.
BTW - I don't believe that a homosexual pair should have children (through birth OR adoption). It has no bearing on what Sunsong said. Dick Cheney and his wife (my memory fails me on her name, at the moment) have consistently faced up to this personal issue with class and love for their family.
