Mary Cheney and Partner Are About to Be Moms

Mary Cheney, the vice president's openly gay daughter, is pregnant. She and her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe, are "ecstatic" about the baby, due in late spring, said a source close to the couple.

It's a baby boom for grandparents Dick and Lynne Cheney: Their older daughter, Elizabeth, went on leave as deputy assistant secretary of state before having her fifth child in July. "The vice president and Mrs. Cheney are looking forward with eager anticipation to the arrival of their sixth grandchild," spokesman Lea Anne McBride said last night.

Cheney, 37, was a key aide to her father during the 2004 reelection campaign and now is vice president for consumer advocacy at AOL. Poe, 45, a former park ranger, is renovating their Great Falls home.

Interestingly enough, Virginia is the same state that passed a state-wide constitutional amendment banning gay marriage back in November.

I think some concerned Conservative should demand that that baby not be raised in that sinful unAmerican household, and use the powers of the Religious Right to put it into a good Christian home.

VA banned civil unions, too, and any legal contracts between two people of the same gender that could also be granted by marriage.

I somehow fear that this will end with someone getting shot in the face again!

Seriously though, its nice to see that at least some of the people in DC get a good healthy dose of reality from time to time. Sadly though, I doubt it will change anything at all...

It's amazing how people's attitudes change when this kind of stuff hits close to home. It's easy to hate in the abstract.

An article on CNN had a quote from a lady who was so offended that these two would give birth to a child who would never have a father... Yet when two gay guys want to adopt, the kid would have TWO fathers... but for some reason, they have a problem with that too.

Unfortunately, Funadmentalism means no sense of irony whatsoever.
