Mary Cheney is a tool and a hypocrite. I've read other interviews with her in the last week or so and she should be ashamed of herself. She turned her back on her community, the community that fostered her emotionally and gave her a job selling us Coors beer, to get in bed with the enemy. And she lives in this deluded world where it doesn't matter how much Daddy's friends hate her as long as Daddy loves her. That is sick. \n\nShe thinks that marriage equality will just happen by itself over time, but it wont. It is happening because of the liberal activists who are pouring our blood, sweat, and tears into a desperate bid to be equal, fighting against the very hateful Republicans that she is quietly serving. She's a coward as far as I'm concerned. She is in a position to do real good (other politicians have had gay relatives who spoke out such as Candace Gingrich and Chrissy Gerhardt), and she wastes it so she can remain comfortable. \n\nShe wastes her chances, makes excuses for homophobes, ignores the people who actually WORK for gay equality, and seems to think that everyone is ok because she is rich enough to buy a lot of legal rights with her partner.  A lot of us gay folks aren't rich, aren't making millions at AOL and Coors, don't have rich parents, and need to fight to be equal because we can't buy it.  \n\nI call shenanigans and say that Mary Cheney is not deserving of anything but contempt.

No Jackson. Not only should President Bush not support gay marriage, neither should anyone else. If the gays and lezbo's want to play house, then they can just simply live together and pretend. \n\nI do not believe it is fair to straight (normal) couples who believe in the religious sanctity of marriage to have it defaced and demoralized by the irregulars. \n\nFurthermore, I blame the media for allowing this concept to become "acceptable" behavior.  If it wasn't splattered all over our TV, cramming it down our throats in sit-com's, they would all still be in the closet.

I would be very very shocked if George Bush did what Clinton did. After reading a book about Bush, it seems he and Laura have a very good marriage, especially since he's a Christian. But ... just for the sake of argument - I guarantee you that if it happened, Bush would tell the truth to the country when questioned.

Well, she certainly looks much more like a man than a woman but I have to defend our first president from such a horrible comparison. Washington may have had his flaws but he can hardly be compared with our own version of Lucretia Borgia. The truly loathsome barbara "babs" bush is one of the most evil-minded and ill-mannered persons to ever (dis)grace our White House. Beyond being uncivilized, vindictive and personally despicable, she is pure evil. I have always seen through her veneer of being some sort of national mythological motherly figure. I absolutely despise this woman, always have. God, what a family....

I'm so sick of staunch conservatives bringing up the Clinton scandal.  Almost every president we've ever had, had mistresses. Apparently there was a time when the media didn't feel the need to air dirty laundry. It is rather comical, however, that the same people lampooning morality and declaring gay marriage a sin often turn out to be a pedifiles and closet homosexuals.

Well he's against gay marriage (actively campaigning against an amendment in Colorado) but he's having gay sex and doing drugs with a male prostitute so he kinda deserved to be exposed as a hypocrite.

I think he has been punished by being shown to all as one of the people that he spent years preaching against. The closest thing to punishment I would like to see is for him to realize the harm he has done with his words demonizing gay people.

I've always thought the people who put down gays the most probably are gay themselves.  I find it highly ironic and will more so if all the allegations prove to be true.

It is a conflict of interest. But nothing will be done about it.  That is politics. Cheney also has a lot of political experience.  He has been involved with politics for a long time.  Governor of Wyoming, he was on the first President Bush staff and I believe he was on Presidents Nixon and Fords staff. (however don't quote me on that one it might have been a different president)

I think Mary ought to be committed, not for being queer but for being a repuglican. That in not only a disorder but a disease.

First of all, I hope I'm open-minded enough not to give a rat's ass about a person's sexual preferences (provided it involves consenting adults) no matter what job they're seeking. So yeah, I could vote for a gay president if I agreed with most of his or her policies. What the hell do I care what they do in their private life? And why do YOU care?\n\nP.S. For the record, we've likely already had a gay president. James Buchanan, widely considered one of the worst and most ineffectual presidents in US history (some blame him for failing to prevent the Civil War), never married but rather lived for 16 years with an Alabama senator named William Rufus King. Seems harmless enough -- except for the fact that he referred to King as "Nancy" amid rampant rumours of their having had a homosexual relationship.

From what I can gather, the assertion is based on one author's work, which relied on interpretations of the former president's diaries.\n\nFrom Wikipedia:\nIn his book The Road to Respectability: James A. Garfield and His World, 1844-1852 (Western Reserve Historical, 1988), the American historian and presidential biographer Hendrik Booraem, a student of the famed Lincoln biographer David Donald, expanded upon the unpublished dissertation of Rick Cotton, another of Donald's students and himself heterosexual, and conceded that Garfield was most likely gay. This theory is not widely accepted among historians and is considered mere speculation.

the most powerful gay man in the world is probably in the closet. Of all the ones that aren't, I'm going to say EU commissioner Peter Mandelson. I think he came out.

It's not about being gay... you hit the nail on the head, it is about hypocrisy of the Republic party. \n\nPpl think I am joking or being facetious when I say they live by a double standard. When I make that statement, I am completely serious.

No way.  Not this close to the elections.  I don't trust any of these "religious leaders".  They just scam money out of old people.  I also hate hypocrites.  If he really is gay then why not just admit it?  Gay people who hide in the closet and spout off a whole bunch of anti-gay sentiments make my blood boil.  I love it when the gay community "outs" these hypocrites.
