My oh my.....you have just GOT to read Dan Savage's take on the current debate about Mary Cheney, her pregnancy and her family's responses lately in the news media about their hypocricy. In my opinion, he nails it all clearly and precisely.

Read it here:

This guy makes some valid points that need to be heard. Will Mary listen?

quote:

Yes, it’s a baby, not a prop. My kid isn’t a prop either, but that never stopped right-wingers from attacking me and my boyfriend over our decision to become parents.

His approach is very brash at times, but despite his language, most of his coments are dead on and more than fair:

quote:

And so long as your party insists on making the fitness of homosexuals to marry or parent—or, hell, exist—a subject of public debate, Mary, your decision to become a parent is germane and very much fit for public discussion and debate.

Thanks, Jim!

Oh, and this little clip from Jon Stewart on the Daily Show is worth watching as well:

Unfortunately the clip stops right before the best point in his argument. I'll keep looking for it.

Wait! I found it. Listen to this, particularly the part about the hypothetical question: What if Strom Thurman had had a black daughter?
