Mary looks the portrait of an All-American...Son!
Drudge's posting of this article is a a cheap and tawdry political trick. He is not a good man.
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
If we were all the same, wouldnt life be boring!?
Which explains his well-defined atttitude towards the press. :-)
That's what we love about him.
This article is BS anyway, what the hell is a father gonna do?
You love your kids not matter what they do.
One simply wonders which teacher, student leader or family friend "helped" junior high age, Mary Cheney, realize her dream of becomming a lesbian.
Me, 2, too! Both are compassionate and lovely (like Mary Cheney) but neither is gay (both nurses). Still, I could love them none the less if they were!
Da man!
He probably already knew. And your kids are your kids all ways and always.
Not when they are gay. There are lots of parents who have turned their backs on their children because of it. Alan Keyes is one. I'd imagine many FReepers would not be nearly as accepting as the Cheneys.
Oops, forgot to add "Girl Scout" leader since GSA strongly supports lesbianism, abortion, and sexual identity programs.
Liberals cannot understand that conservatives do not disown everyone who disagrees with them or do something that they might not approve of. Conservatives like people. Liberals on the other hand...
Lots of people don't know what they would do until they are faced with the situation. They might bluster about it now, but if the chips were on the table, I bet they would have a different reaction.
"what the hell is a father gonna do?
"
Oh, there are some fathers who don't react like that. I know two who threw their kid out. One of the kids was just 16. Not all parents can deal with it.
Cheney writes that her mother hugged her, but then burst into tears, worried that she would face a life of pain and prejudice.
Her mother must have already known John Kerry and John Edwards back then.
Exactly. Something happened, etc....that helped her along her way. What that is is not for us to know, as it is a private family matter.
I wish her only the best and of course her father and family still love her, that is what parents do.
I don't know how I would react. I would try to talk to them and if they still chose the deviant lifestyle, I probably would not want much to do with them. Hopefully I won't ever know.
My gay brother is sitting on my couch as I type. Should I throw him out because I disapprove of his past lifestyle?
It's a bad idea to assume thing about Freepers. There are some who are vocal but most Freepers aren't mean. Or heartless. Or stupid.
Alan Keyes isn't worthy to shine Cheney's shoes.
