Out and About

Out and About: "Only a woman with Mary Cheney's gift for understatement could write a book that essentially says she thinks the president of the United States -- that would be her father's boss, mind you -- is trying to 'write discrimination into the Constitution' and that this effort is a 'gross affront' to herself along with gays and lesbians everywhere.

That would be in that '10 percent of the book'-- Cheney's own description -- where she writes about coming out to her parents, how she felt about John Kerry and John Edwards bringing up her sexuality in campaign debates, and where she stands on the Federal Marriage Amendment Act, which would ban legal unions between same-sex partners. She opposes it and describes her own relationship as a marriage."
