With Donation to NH’s Kelly Ayotte, Mary Cheney Continues Financial Support of Anti-Gay Candidates
Mary Cheney’s donation of $500 to Kelly Ayotte, New Hampshire’s Republican 2010 Senate candidate, is really just pocket change is the grand scheme of things. But Cheney has publicly spoken about how she supports same-sex marriage, and yet she’s donating to Ayotte (who wants to replace retiring GOP Sen. Judd Gregg), who does not. But Mary has a history of pulling for politicos who don’t support her right to marry, last year donating to Ohio Republican Rep. Rob Portman’s Senate campaign. Though last time around she was more generous; Portman got a full thousand.
I have personally observed (and believe it to be a common pattern of behavior) many persons who are secure and/or privileged to adopt an attitude of relative indifference toward the struggles those who do not enjoy these advantages.
Graned Ms. Cheney is not married, but she is in a stable long term relationship with the support of her family. Her financial security and status are sufficient so she is far less vulnerable than most LGBTs regarding possible employment and housing discrimination or even social or physical bullying.
It could be stated more sharply as “I’ve got mine, so the hell with you.”

She lives a consequence free existance, no anti-gay laws can touch the daughter of the former Vice President of the U.S. It’s the same reason why Barney Frank keeps telling gays to shut up and stop fighting for our rights. It’s because as a congressman he has no issues with our everyday struggles.
Mary Cheney reminds me of the type of woman who would do business with the Taliban because she didn’t live in Afghanistan and it was good for business, so who cares how they treat women.

Mary Cheney is clearly not much brighter than that douchebag father of hers.
