	Mary Cheney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mary Claire Cheney (born March 14, 1969) is the second daughter of Dick Cheney, the Vice President of the United States, and his wife, Lynne Cheney.
		Mary Cheney's sexual orientation as a lesbian has become a source of increasing public attention because of her political involvement with the Republican Party and because of the burgeoning same-sex marriage debate.
		Mary Cheney did not publicly express her opinion of the amendment until her autobiography, Now It's My Turn, where she stated her opposition to the amendment, yet felt it important to support the president's re-election bid as she felt only he was capable of protecting the country from terrorist attacks.

	Mary Cheney to take a leading role in dad's campaign - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Friends of Mary Cheney say she's poised to take a key, daily role in her father Dick's vice presidential bid, even as questions about her sexual orientation continue to stir the placid waters of this week's Republican convention.
		It is unclear whether the girlfriend will join Mary Cheney on the platform when her father formally accepts the Republican nomination Wednesday night, or when he joins George W. Bush for final convention photo opportunities on Thursday.
		The issue got dicier Sunday, when Mary Cheney's mother Lynne scolded ABC's Cokie Roberts for raising the question of her daughter's sexuality, and denied that Mary -- an open lesbian who worked as the gay relations manager for Coors Brewing -- had ever declared she was openly gay.

	Mary Cheney's gay — so what? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Instead, she, Cheney and the GOP are being criticized for not addressing the fact that she's a gay woman, and such criticism is hypocritical.
		Mary's father is a staunch conservative with a record that reflects an opposition to gay rights, and as secretary of defense he openly opposed gays serving in the military.
		Mary remains close to her family; when Mary and her sister Liz threw their parents a 35th anniversary party last year attended by many GOP stars, Heather was by Mary's side.

		Absent any words from Mary herself, you can only assume that she would be the first to tell you she belongs there.

	Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Mary Cheney is Pregnant
		But Cheney is in a unique position as the Vice President and as a very prominent conservative voice (and his wife as well, as a widely respected conservative intellectual) to speak out on the broader issue and potentially make a real difference.
		Dick Cheney speaks with earnest pride of his daughter and her family; Condoleeza Rice thinks nothing of introducing the new Global AIDS Coordinator, his partner, and his mother-in-law; Hannity plays gay matchmaker.
		Mary Cheney is not being villified on the wingnut Free Republic message board simply because of who her father is. And some of the posters themselves (on both sides of the issue) have pointed this fact out.

	Centerfield: Mary Cheney
		Mary's not on stage with the family when it's expedient for her not to be, and she is when the polls indicate that she should be.
		Despite Dick Cheney's public embrace of his daughter, which is commendable, I think the Cheney's are still uncomfortable with her sexuality, which is understandable given the generation in which they grew up, and also the political party to which they belong.
		If Mary Cheney weren't 31, if she hadn't already been paid for years by Coors to act as liaison to the gay community, if she weren't taking big bucks to play a public role in her father's campaing, things would be different.

	Amazon.com: Now It's My Turn: A Daughter's Chronicle of Political Life: Books: Mary Cheney (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Mary Cheney, whose father, Dick Cheney, was not upset by her sexual orientation, carefully avoids this overworked theme and focuses on her role in the 2000 and 2004 campaigns of his run for vice-president of the United States.
		Mary, her experiences, and her opinions, have been the subject of intense debate in the media and from activists on both ends of the political spectrum, but she has never spoken publicly about herself, her life, or her political views -- until now.
		Cheney is out of the protective world she lives in, and back in the real world where gay bashing is a reality and her next employer can fire her because she's gay, and doesn't have her Daddy to run to for big bully protection.

	Salon.com Politics \| Gays blast Lynne Cheney's denial about her daughter
		Lynne Cheney's discomfort with the media's interest in her lesbian daughter Mary, televised nationally over the weekend, threatens to ignite the first firestorm of the so-far superbly scripted Republican convention.
		Cheney herself told a lesbian magazine that she went to work for Coors "because I knew several other lesbians who were very happy here." Friends and colleagues say she has declared her sexuality in public on many occasions.
		Some of Mary Cheney's friends agree with gay leaders' take that Lynne Cheney was attempting to shut down the sexuality story by shaming the press out of discussing "private" family matters.

		Cheney said her daughter is ``bright'' and ``hard-working'' and ``decent,'' and yes, she loves her.
		But the campaign's transformation of Mary Cheney into a nonperson has so incensed gay activists that they held a news conference yesterday, comparing Republicans' treatment of Mary to Ross Perot's ``crazy aunt in the attic.'' Trot her out to the window, so folks will know she's alive.

		Mary Cheney was responsible for gay community outreach as lesbian/gay corporate relations manager for Coors Brewing Company and served as a member of the advisory board of the Republican Unity Coalition, a gay-straight alliance formed within the Republican party.
		Cheney thanked Edwards for his kind words at their debate...this new phony "outrage" is simply a last ditch desperate effort by the Republicans to sway voters which I doubt is going to work--unless the press play into their hands and dwells on it.
		You are right, nobody "outed" Mary Cheney, but it was still in bad taste to involve her at that point in the discussion as she isn't a "public" figure and only works for her father, who obviously loves her deeply.

		Dick Cheney probably didn't know his daughter was gay when he compiled one of the most viscously anti-gay voting records in Congress.
