To be fair, I should add that Cheney himself had publicly mentioned more than once that Mary was gay. And she was on his campaign staff, one of his most trusted aides, according to him. He is on record as favoring leaving decisions about gay marriage to the states, as opposed to the Bush policy of a constitutional amendment forbidding it. He isn't exactly an activist, but he's obviously not a homophobe or a hypocrite on that issue-- except in the general sense that he supports a party that does not support gay rights and that tends to be very homophobic.
