She quotes:
"Children deserve the very best we can offer, and gay adoption — by definition — intentionally denies children either a mother or a father," said Carrie Gordon Earll, an analyst for Focus on the Family, the Colorado-based family advocacy ministry. "Adoption laws should put the needs of children first, above the desires of adults."
Shakes scornfully mocks this, translating it as
Mary Cheney is a selfish dyke who will be a terrible mother to a pitiable child.
My problem is this. I would never support in any way, shape or form someone like Earll. But Mary Cheney is a "selfish dyke." And I wouldn't give much for her chances as a mother, either, given the values with which she's self-evidently been raised.
When I think of the work she has done for homophobes and homophobia in supporting the Bush administration...
I don't care how crazy she makes sickening groups like Focus on the Family, which nornally I would consider praiseworthy in itself.
She actively worked for candidates, and a party, who would deny choices to women (& men) with less powerful and wealthy fathers. While still being assured those choices were always open to her.
That is the very definition of a "selfish dyke" and negates for all time any chance she might have of winning my support. I hope they tear her limb-from-limb (metaphorically speaking, of course).
