MARY, QUITE CONTRARY

This gay marriage thing gets weirder all the time. Christian right-wingers in the U.S. are leaping to the defense of Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter, Mary.

In Wednesday night's debate, John Kerry referred to her during an exchange on the marriage issue, noting the contradiction in her father supporting legislation to deny his daughter rights. Kerry did not "out" Mary Cheney -- she's been out for years -- but conservatives say Kerry is being homophobic by using Mary's sexuality as an election issue (Charles Taylor at Salon rightly asks why it's an 'issue' at all).

Conservatives defending Mary Cheney's right to privacy while stripping away all others -- Bizarro World keeps on spinning.
