Dick Cheney’s Lesbian Daughter Gets Married

When you think of a gay marriage, you probably imagine a lot of things. However, one thing we‘re almost certain you don’t expect is for Dick Cheney to be in attendance as the father of the bride. Or, in this case, one of two brides. Yet just recently, he has been just that.

ABC News reports that Cheney’s lesbian daughter, Mary, recently married her longtime partner Heather Poe in Washington, DC:

n a statement issue by Cheney and his wife, Lynne, said, ”Our daughter Mary and her long time partner, Heather Poe, were married today in Washington, DC. Mary and Heather have been in a committed relationship for many years, and we are delighted that they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to have that relationship recognized.”

The former vice president added, “Mary and Heather and their children are very important and much loved members of our family and we wish them every happiness.”

Mary Cheney, 43, has given birth to a son and a daughter.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

    There are two verses that religious bigots use as there proof that homosexuality is a sin. The Bible mentions adultery 54 times and calls for the killing of adulterers yet many more so-called Christians are adulterers than gay. If you supported Newt you were willing to vote for a sinner that the Bible equates morally with a murderer.

      The worst serial murder cases in America are homosexuals. You might want to argue that straights commit more in quantity. But look at the ratio for homosexual vs straight is 3 vs 997.

      Also most of homosexuals change partner more frequent than straight. Your statement is based on bias and ignorant.

      Christians are forgiven because
      Jesus took upon himself our sins and suffered the penalty of death for us…so we should live for him….

      And Christians sin just like everyone else…

      Your trying to water down what God considers a abomination…
      Being “gay” is a sinful unacceptable lifestyle by itself…
      a Gay person can live that way and NOT do any other sin and still go to hell…

      it is NOT a “marriage” I don’t care what the BEGUILED claim —it is fornication–and as Dr.Kelly Hollowell wrote so aptly for WND some years ago “It’s Dilution STUPID!”The reprobates have wanted
      to have the State affirm their sin since at Least 87 when the Court foolishly spoke of “marriage” as a relationship that could receive benefits including Property and Govt. Benefits. And as we had already tolerated the divorce of the modern American Govt. from the Founding principles of Religion and Morality What is left. Why can’t a man divorce his wife and marry his television set?Or any other
      Jerry Springer combo ?It ain’t a marriage it is fornication.

      Exactly. If someone wants to live a lifestyle different than the “normal”, as long as they are not flaunting it in everyone elses face, who cares? What business is it of anyones how someone lives when it doesn’t affect them? So called “christians” continually point fingers and yell how bad being gay is. If that’s their belief, fine, but how about they fix their own issues and sins before trying to bring attention upon others? If being gay is a sin, God will judge in time.

      I’m convinced that at least some gay people WERE, in fact, born that way. Some were ‘created’, but some were not. How else does one explain a parent with a set of twins who were brought up identical in all manners, and one turns out straight and one gay? Others that felt their entire childhood lives like they were different yet tried to be straight and go along with the “normal”.

      Being attracted to the same sex in a repressive society must be a living hell. We need to all relax a bit and let people live their lives when they are not affecting us. Where we need to draw the line is when they are “in your face”, or teaching kids about the gay lifestyle. Teaching tolerance is good and needed as there are still many nosey, judgemental people against gays who ridicule them, make jokes about them, taunt them and worse (some right here on the Blaze).

      Being “convinced” is not a valid argument unless you are a geneticist with the research to back your convictions.

      And the problem is this matter not being kept to the privacy of the homes. It’s being forced into our schools and even kindergarten. (Why Billy Has Two Daddys” is reccommended reading for that age group.)

      Well others are “convinced” they’ve been “lead astray.”
      Being “convinced” is not a valid argument unless you are a geneticist with the research to back your convictions.”

      It’s a valid argument, just not provable. I’m convinced one way, others are convinced another way, yet you seem to be saying the other way is proper even though it’s nothing more than convinced as well. That certainly sounds like a double-standard.

      “The evolutionary argument by default, says the gay gene should have been eliminated from humanity.”

      Perhaps. I am not versed well enough in evolution to know if that is factual or not. And even that, evolution, is debatable… some people believe in it, some do not.

      “And the problem is this matter not being kept to the privacy of the homes. It’s being forced into our schools and even kindergarten. (Why Billy Has Two Daddys” is reccommended reading for that age group.)”

      And I didn’t refer to those instances as being wrong, huh? Again, because I disagree with you, you are going to setup a strawman?

      “Which means somebody considers environment a factor.”

      Yes, some do. I do not think they have any solid evidence to prove ALL gays are a product of their environment. I couldnt’ swore I said that, but maybe you missed it?

      Any belief is valid as it’s a belief. That does not make it factual, but it’s nevertheless a belief.
      Where those that believe the lifestyle is wrong is when they attempt to get in the face of those living that lifestyle when those are not bothering them, not trying to convert others, not doing a thing to bother that so-called ‘do-gooder’ who is hollaring from the mountaintops that the gay lifestyle is wrong.

      You certainly have a right to believe in any way you choose, but you have absolutely NO RIGHT to interfere with my life in any manner so long as I am not affecting yours.

      How nice. You’ll accept your children so long as they conform to your standards, your beliefs, and your lifestyle. Seems like you don’t love them … you just want to run their lives.

      We may want specific things for our children, but not accepting them for whom they want to marry is wrong. The church I was brought up in as a child preached it was wrong for a white to marry a black — sure sounds like this is a very similar thing happening, just that blacks have now been replaced by gays. I will pretty much assure you of one thing, though … do not accept your sons/daughters choice in spouses and it’s a good chance you may create unrepairable family problems between you and them — certainly not worth it for loving families, at least the way I understand love.

      Nothing sacred about marriage, Finwe. It’s a legal term, as used by the courts and the law. Whatever religious connotation you want to put to it is up to you, but that has no recognition in a court of law. Besides, marriage has changed it’s definition and parameters many times over the centuries, depending on timeperiod, country, culture, etc. This is just one more step in the evolution of society.

      Just because you support changing the historical meaning of marriage does not mean that marriage is not sacred. It has also always had a religious meaning long before it was ever applied in law. If you really believe it’s simply a legal term, then support civil unions as they provide the same legal benefits as marriage. Calling something a marriage that‘s never been defined as a marriage is wrong and hijacks it’s significance in society. Like it or not, but the sexual union of two heterosexuals is the only way to reproduce our species and has thus been the foundation of all societies. The position you are promoting is untenable to the reality of history.

      Oh, I do support civil unions- for everyone, gay and straight alike. A simple registering of the partnership for legal purposes is all the government should be doing. Not issuing licences, which indicates that we need government permission, which we should not. If people want to then go through some sort of religious recognition, that should be up to them, but it should have no bearing whatsoever on the legal status of the people involved.

      You are missing the point. Civil unions make sense, not because of attitude towards marriage, but because the joining of two or more adults in a consenting union should not be subject to government intervention, or require government permssion. And gay, straight, or poly, they should all be equal under the law.Marriage is just a word, nothing more. It does not convey the correct meaning when used as a legal term to describe a legal partnership. Nevertheless, since it seems unlikley that the government will give up it’s practice of taxing people and making them ask permission in order to legalise that union, it would appear that we are stuck with the term ‘marriage’, and it must therefore apply to all unions in order to convey the equality.

      There you go again Reallib, you slipped out of libertarian speak and back into a hybrid libertarianism and religion hating progressive liberalism. If you were a true libertarian you would not settle to legalize everything under the term marriage to convey equality while tolerating the government licensing people to marry. That’s a defeatist and clearly non-idealistic approach from a libertarian who’s ideological position generally lends themselves the ability to be true believers because of their absence from power.

      Regardless of that Reallib, I completely understand the point you are making and am trying to get you to understand mine. The word marriage and the idea of marriage are not just simply words, you like to define it that way in order to accomplish your stated ‘equalizing’ goal. Marriage is between a man and a woman historically and currently. It is the basic unit of society that reproduces and forms the next generation of people and society. That goal can only be accomplished between a man and a woman and to deny that fact you are not only denying history, but biology as well. I don’t care if you call the joining of two men in a relationship and civil union, but that is not marriage. Civilizations past and present have recognized the greater whole is benefited when its smallest organizational units are strong, when the family breaks down, the civilization goes with it. Supporting gay marriage robs children of the benefit of the two gende

      There may be a difference between ‘conservative’ and ‘libertarian’ which is being overlooked.

      A ‘libertarian’ is someone who wants maximum freedom and minimal government.

      A ‘conservative’ is defined as someone who resists change and follows certain moral precepts. No mention of “small government”.

      A ‘conservative libertarian’ may be defined as someone who wants small government and maximum freedom, with the caveat of “as long as it follows prescribed morals”.

      There is as much mud slinging and name calling among the various sects of constitutionally minded people as there is among the many sects of Christianity.

      We need to recognize that we all lean the same way and no one ideology is the “true” one, so we might as well get along and stop splitting hairs.

      The comment regarding the Religious Right scaring some of the constitutionally minded from embracing the Tea Party is spot on. There is much talk that sounds like “my way or the pits of hell”, which is really matter of personal belief, that puts off even religious people like myself.

      I lean toward the ‘conservative libertarian’ side. I am not for legalizing same-sex marriage or drugs, and would love to repeal Roe vs Wade. Though I consider them sins, I do not hate people for being homosexual, drug users or for having an abortion. I am judged on my sins, not the sins of others. God gave us all the ability to choose for ourselves, an I respect that gift.

      “Both establishments are so busy telling everyone what they should think concerning relatively trivial social issues while ignoring the real issues that matter.”

      That is the very reason my wife and I stopped attending church years ago … we tried many churches, and every one seemed to be more about money and power over others than they were about teaching religion. I am sure there are some good churches, but we were unable to find any around our area (and we attended Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Church of God, Reformed Churches). When the preacher/priest was not yammering on about how they needed more money, they were driving home over and over how man is the head of woman and woman needs to sit back and listen to what the man wants because he is in charge and how both need to listen to their church elders because they have more understandings, yadda, yadda, yadda.

      I think that intolerance is more “religious” than it is Republican/Conservative. I think people actually think they are doing God’s work, but are misguided. They need to learn to live and let live and not worry about others that do not affect them. God truly doesn’t need their help to fix and/or punish others.

      @JHRUSKY

      Personally I am Roman Catholic. I have struggled throughout my life with some of the dogma and teachings of the Church. Maybe I’ve taken the “easy way out”, but I choose to ignore some of the dogma that is of Man. In a Catholic Theological sense that makes me a heretic and I should be excommunicated.

      However I don’t ignore the Biblical teachings. I may fall short of living up to the standards sometimes, but I sincerely confess my sins and shortcomings and go on from there. I pray that you and your wife find peace in a religion, whichever or whatever that may be. In my opinion a religion doesn’t have to be a formal church setting. I have several very good friends who are Wiccan who I would say are very Godly people in that they respect everyone and follow the Golden Rule and the 10 Commandants even though they don’t recognize God in the same way that I do. I sense from reading many of your posts that you are a God centered man. I would urge you and your wife not to abandon your search. Even if you never find a church that suits you both, you’ll be much better people for having pursued it.

      There is intolerance everywhere, you are 100 % correct. I simply spoke of it in the political arena because that was in keeping with the discussion in is particular thread. Thank you for the opportunity to exchange thoughts. Peace.

      I wouldn‘t sweat the fact that you don’t understand all the dogma if your church. Sometimes we must believe it because we are told to, and the answers as to ‘why’ come with obedience.

      When I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latte Day Saints I was asked by the bishop if I believed the current President of the Church, Gordon B. Hinkley was a prophet. I answered “No, but I believe you do.” He accepted my answer. I later came to believe that for myself.

      Keep the faith.

      It’s my opinion that the only reason government should incentivize marriage is for the purpose of enticing people to raise kids. Studies would show (posted on the Blaze) that the best way to ensure good citizens is to have them raised by a man and a women. Single parents and same-sex parents don’t score as well. That being said, if a couple enters into a ‘marriage contract’ it is with the expectation that they will raise children. Tax breaks should only be given to couples who enter this contract and are actively raising children, their own or adopted. Once a couple is no longer raising children, the incentives cease. Any other arrangement is not subject to incentives.

      Many people decide to get married and either can‘t or won’t have children. That’s a personal choice. It is still marriage, but not subject to incentives.

      Just a thought.

      1. There are studies that support both hypotheses. Children are better adjusted and more successful when they are the result of a heterosexual relationship and children are not better adjusted and more successful when they are the result of a heterosexual relationship. Personally, I think their adjustment and success probably has more to do with the quality of the parents than with the sex of the parents.
      2. There should not be any government sponsored subsidy for having children. Regardless the sexes of the couple. If a couple of any sexual makeup needs a subsidy to induce them to have children then something is very wrong. There should not be any restriction on a couple, regardless of the sex of the two partners, to having children either.
      3. The Federal Government should have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to say about family planning matters. See the enumerated powers outlined in the Constitution.

      Just a slightly different thought.

      Slightly different opinion acknowledged.

      I erred when I said “a government should…“ instead of saying ”if a government does…”

      I meant to explain the reason why a government would be interested in incentivizing marriage and the raising of children. A society is only sustainable if there are future workers, warriors (unfortunately), and taxpayers.

      I have no problem with the government getting out of the marriage business, but I believe the reason I stated above is why they do it.

      I have never seen studies that show overall that kids from single parents or same-sex parents score better than those from a heterosexual partnership. I have seen individual instances, however. I believe you are right, the quality of the parents has a major role.

      The studies that show no difference between children of heterosexual couples and homosexual couples, including adopted children, are admittedly few. The phenomena of children from homosexual relationships is a relatively new thing. Those that I‘m familiar with don’t say that children of homosexual unions are better adjusted or attain higher achievement, but they do show that on average their outcomes are not significantly different when adjusted for all variables and unknowns.

      Because the body of knowledge with regard to this subject is very, very limited I am of the opinion that it’s inconclusive at this juncture. But, of course, that is simply my opinion. I appreciate your well thought out post, and many other of your posts that I’ve read. Peace.

These disgusting individuals continue to fly under the banner of “conservatism”, while subverting the very values they are suppose to uphold. Let’s not be fooled, the battle to redefine marriage is being fought at several fronts. What the Cheney’s have done is no different than what the our incompetent Oreo Cookie President has done to promote those disgusting rainbow colors. I find it appalling that they would try to equate the union of two men or two women to the same level as the traditional union betwen man and women. An effort to masquerade the continual act of sexual perversion with words like “long lasting and loving relationship” mantra we usually hear from these types is despicable. This is why I never trusted Dick Cheney, or his boss George Bush, along with all the moderate RINOS that are literally destroying the family for political gain. They are despicable liars, just as much as any leftist out there! Don’t be fooled, these despicable polictians are out there. It matters not what label they go by!

      Perhaps I am missing something, but does not the very term “homophobe” mean someone who is afraid of homosexuals? I thought “phobe” was referring to phobia? If it is, then just because someone is against homosexuals does not make them scared of them. It may mean they are a bigot, and it certainly means they seem to want to judge and then cry “it’s in the Bible” when called out about it, but it doesn’t mean they are fearful of them.

      I think ‘homophobe’ is a buzzword the left uses against the right, just as the right uses the buzzword ‘proabortion’ against the left. It’s meant to extract anger and emotion.

I don’t want anyone telling me how to live and I give my children the same respect.

      I‘m sure the Cheneys’ love their daughter, her partner and their granddaughters. I have no idea what they think about the gay marriage question and I don’t care really.
