i'm using outing in the broader sense. many of bush's supporters didn't know anything about mary. to spread the information that she is gay, with the intent of separating conservative voters from bush....that's not cool in my book.

they made fun of it on the daily show after the VP debate. Stewart kept emphasizing the phrase GAY DAUGHTER, getting louder and louder. something to the effect that Edwards kindly spoke of Cheney's GAY DAUGHTER, how much respect he had for his GAY DAUGHTER, that Cheney's GAY DAUGHTER should be treated equally under the law. the last time Stewart yelled GAY DAUGHTER, they made his voice echo. good stuff.

now...the Cheney's crocodile tears for this all, when they've played both sides of the issue, and align themselves with a party who spreads fear of teh queer community...well, i'm sorry, but i really don't feel much for them. Is mary a hypocrite to work for coors like she did? Yeah. Work for the campaign like she did? Yeah.
Is kerry a hypocrite to say he supports the queer community, and then to use Mary's queerness against Bush? Yeah.
