Mary Cheney upset with Kerry--so am I

Over at AMERICAblog, there is a well-written piece by by someone named John about internalized homophobia and how it applies to Mary Cheney. I agree with everything the writer says--Cheney's defense of Bush is especially sickening-- but here is where I differ with those involved in the discussion about the piece: I agree with Mary Cheney that Kerry's mention of her sexual orientation during the presidential debate was offensive. I cringed when he did it because I thought it was cheap and tasteless. I still do.

(And by the way, Cheney didn't say "go fuck yourself." He said "fuck yourself." A small thing, perhaps, but consider all of the T-shirts, mugs, and other items that now display an inaccuracy.)
