The blond woman is Mary Cheney. The dark haired woman is Heather Poe, her partner of 15 years.
No problems with that, the Cheney's are fairly okay with this .. you know when the aren't campaigning. They are also pretty open about it (again, except when campaigning).
As a matter of fact, Mary and Heather had a baby. And the Cheney's, proud grandparents, released a White House Press Paper welcoming the new grandchild from Mary Cheney and her partner. The right wing press has bitched, but the White House hasn't backed down.
Here is a picture of the child, being held by the Veep. Here is their press release:
According to the vice president's office, Cheney's daughter, Mary Cheney, 37, and her longtime partner, Heather Poe, welcomed 8 lbs., 6 oz. Samuel David
Cheney into the world at 9:46 a.m. Wednesday at Sibley Hospital in Washington, D.C.
So who is this below? This is James Holinsger. He is the new nominee for U.S. surgeon general (for those of you outside the US, this is called "America's Doctor"), it has been a high profile post since C. Evert Koop in the 1980's.
What is also interesting, in light of littel David Cheney, is that Minister Holoinsger doesn't believe in Homosexuality as an orientation. He descrbes it as a "lifestyle choice". He also runs ministry to move people out of Homosexuality. Additionally he voted against letting a gay man into the lay ministry (he was overruled by the rest of the church).
So do Mary and Heather have to go be re-orinetated? And, if not, THEY WHY DOES THE REST OF THE COUNTRY HAVE TO PUT UP WITH IT?
