Outraging the anti-gays

I don't really get why some people think that Kerry has disrespected the privacy of Cheney family by public ally saying that his daughter, Mary, is lesbian.

It's obviously a true fact which the Cheneys have not kept in secret. Although I bet they would keep it secret, if they could. You can't run your anti-homosexual campaign easily when your own daughter is one, at least for those radical Christians.

So why would revealing something witch is neither wrong, nor a secret be a cheap shot? If William Safire calling this dishonest, what does he and his conservative friends have to say about almost all Bush's campaign ads that are full of untruthful and dishonest attacks to their rival?

I guess only those who still secretively hate homosexuals have been offended by things John Kerry has said about Mary Cheney, even her own mother.

By the way, Andrew Sullivan, himself a conservative and gay, has best explained it.

On the other hand I agree with the BlogCritic writer that "If Kerry hadn't brought Mary Cheney into this, the big story of the weekend might be that Bush was caught flat-out lying about his "not that concerned about" bin Laden quote."
