Mary Cheney, the
lesbian daughter of former vice president Dick
Cheney, has thrown her support -- to the tune of $1,000 --
behind a congressional candidate from Ohio who
believes she should not be able to adopt children.
Reports The Raw Story: "As an Ohio
congressman, [Rob] Portman voted yes on banning gay
adoptions in the District of Columbia in 1999. He also
voted in favor of a constitutional amendment banning
same-sex marriage in 2004. Portman’s opposition
to same-sex marriage is particularly salient, because
both of his potential Democratic challengers favor its
legalization. Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner
reaffirmed her backing for gay marriage in a posting
at The Huffington Post in June, and a spokesman for
Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher announced that he’d reversed
his opposition the same month."
The website
reports that Cheney made the donation back in May. Cheney
has a 2-year-old son with her partner of 17 years,
Heather Poe.
