GOP Coalition Comes Out for Mary Cheney

Mary Cheney, the vice president's openly lesbian daughter, will be honored Sept. 5 at an L.A. fund-raiser for the Republican Unity Coalition, which longs to make the party more inclusive. The group was co-founded by Brian O'Leary Bennett, who was for quite a while the chief of staff to anti-homosexual Congressman Robert K. Dornan, who once noted proudly that "every lesbian spear-chucker in this country is hoping I get defeated."

Eventually, he was, and Bennett came out of the closet.

The Cheney event, at a private home, will include "special guests" Bill and Cindy Simon. These honors are rather different from the last California award given to Mary Cheney, this one by gay activists who named her as a winner of a "Gay Shame Award," presented to those they believe are hypocrites. In Congress, Cheney's father was one of 13 to vote in 1988 against funding for AIDS testing and research, and was one of 29 the same year to vote against a Hate Crimes Statistics Act.

Next month's event is to hit the coalition's $1-million fund-raising goal for "Big Tent" Republicans running for the House and Senate in November.
