Team Cheney (article about his lesbian daughter Mary...)
Team Cheney
Daughters Liz and Mary drop everything to help their father campaign not just out of family loyalty but because they believe in the message.

...

"They're the inner circle - Lynne, Mary and Liz," says former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson, a longtime family friend, referring to the vice president's wife and two daughters.

...

Mary Cheney, who as head of her father's campaign team earns an after-tax paycheck of $2,776 every two weeks, has tried to stay out of policy debates. But once the president called for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, gay leaders seized upon Mary, a lesbian who has worked on outreach to gays and lesbians, posting open letters to her on a Web site pressing her to speak out against such a ban.

...

Cautious in her actions and loyal to her father, Mary, who recently earned an MBA from the University of Denver, stays behind the scenes and generally does not talk to the press on any subject, least of all gay marriage.

"It's difficult to have your personal life be something that people are exploiting," her sister, Liz, says in an interview.

...

In the fall of 2002, she was billed as a star attraction at a $1 million Republican Unity fund-raiser in Los Angeles, where guests were to pay $500 for a photo op with Mary and California's GOP gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon Jr. But after Simon backed away from some gay-rights initiatives and was dis-invited from the fund-raiser, Mary Cheney chose not to attend what had become a controversial affair.

(Mary Cheney acts as salesperson for the GOP in the gay community and now goes into hiding and her older sister has the gall to complain that we have no right to call her out on the anti-gay amendment being endorsed by her bigoted father. Some things are truly amazing...

Hey Mary--Grow a spine!)

1. PUFF PIECE ALERT!!!
Mary Cheney...head of her father's campaign...has tried to stay out of policy debates. But once the president called for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, gay leaders seized upon Mary, a lesbian who has worked on outreach to gays and lesbians, posting open letters to her on a Web site pressing her to speak out against such a ban.
Here's the site: http://www.dearmary.com

It's not something she is likely to do. Cautious in her actions and loyal to her father, Mary...stays behind the scenes and generally does not talk to the press on any subject, least of all gay marriage.
A campaign manager who doesn't speak to the press--brilliant!
