♦ vice president dick cheney


WASHINGTON - Former US vice president Dick Cheney said Friday he was delighted after his lesbian daughter Mary married her long-term partner Heather Poe.

The wedding came amid fierce debate about gay marriage, after President Barack Obama recently came out in favor if it, while his likely Republican rival Mitt Romney opposes same-sex marriage.

Cheney and Poe, who have two children, were married in Washington DC, where gay marriage has been legal since 2010, reports said."Mary and Heather have been in a committed relationship for many years, and we are delighted that they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to have that relationship recognized," said a Cheney family statement.

"Mary and Heather and their children are very important and much loved members of our family and we wish them every happiness," it added.

Forty-three year-old Mary Cheney confirmed the news on her Facebook page, according to People magazine. "Very happy to announce that as of this morning, Heather and I are legally married (at least in DC).

They married 20 years to the day after their first date, she added. The couple have a five-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter.

Cheney has said he believes US states should decide on legalizing same-sex marriage, but he backed then president George W. Bush's efforts to establish a constitutional ban on gay marriages.

"He sets the policy for this administration, and I support the president," Cheney said in a 2004 vice presidential debate, according to the Los Angeles Times.But since leaving office in 2009 he has changed his stance and opposes a federal ban, it said.

In February 2010 Cheney said it was "time to reconsider" the ban on gays serving openly in the US military.

Obama last year pushed through a repeal of the 1993 law known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," which required gay and lesbian troops to keep quiet about their sexual orientation or face expulsion from the force.

Kwa wale wasio fahamu democracy waitakayo hawa ndio hii msidhani democracy ya kuwa huru na maendeleo ya nchi :target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target::target:
 
Mary Cheney has no right to enjoy benefits her heartless father would exclude others from.
Republican hypocrisy at its finest!
 
Dick Cheny actually went to the private reception party he didn't attend the actual wedding to avoid making it a media circus. btw im a DEM and while i should hate him fact is he has help lobby GOP legislators in 3 states to pass gay marriage laws fact is beggars can't be choosers so gay rights advocates should just accept his help and put the past behind them.
 
Hio sio marriage kwani marriage ni uhusiano halali wa mwanamke na mwanaume kwa nia ya kuendeleza jamii kwa njia ya kizazi bila ya ndoa hakuna dunia ni hii ndio law of nature na maumbile
Lakini huu muungano ama magusiani ya wasengee na mabasha au wasagaji ni kinyume nahali halisi na haziwezi kuitwa ndoa
Ni vema wakatafuta neno jengine
Ndoa itabaki kuwa ya mke na mume

Do gay Republicans who voted for a party that says that marriage can only be between a man and woman believe that they themselves are not worthy of love? Do gay Republicans who voted for politicians who say that gay people should not be allowed to adopt children believe that they themselves are not worthy of family? And what would gay Republicans, who voted for Mitt Romney's version of America, do when their beloved job that gave them their beloved money was taken away from them because they were gay? Who would they call: Lambda Legal? HRC? Ghostbusters?

Nadhani baadhi ya wamarekani wamejitengenezea mungu wao mwingine. Kama wanafuata Neno la Mungu (bible) wasingefikiria suala la mahusiano ya jinsia moja hata kidogo

Kwa kuongezea hapo,
Tangu mwanzo, ndoa ilikuwa ni kati ya mwanamme na mwanamke.

Mathayo 19:04 - 06 inasema ....

4 Akajibu, akawaambia, Hamkusoma ya kwamba yeye aliyewaumba mwanzo, aliwaumba mtu mume na mtu mke,
5 akasema, Kwa sababu hiyo, mtu atamwacha babaye na mamaye, ataambatana na mkewe; na hao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja?
6 Hata wamekuwa si wawili tena, bali mwili mmoja. Basi aliowaunganisha Mungu, mwanadamu asiwatenganishe.
 

Kwa msisitizo zaidi hapo...

9 Au hamjui ya kuwa wadhalimu hawataurithi ufalme wa Mungu? Msidanganyike; waasherati hawataurithi ufalme wa Mungu, wala waabudu sanamu, wala wazinzi, wala wafiraji, wala walawiti,
10 wala wevi, wala watamanio, wala walevi, wala watukanaji, wala wanyang'anyi.

Warumi 01:18 - 32 inasema.....

18 Kwa maana ghadhabu ya Mungu imedhihirishwa kutoka mbinguni juu ya uasi wote na uovu wa wanadamu waipingao kweli kwa uovu.
19 Kwa kuwa mambo ya Mungu yanayojulikana yamekuwa dhahiri ndani yao, kwa maana Mungu aliwadhihirishia.
20 Kwa sababu mambo yake yasiyoonekana tangu kuumbwa ulimwengu yanaonekana, na kufahamika kwa kazi zake; yaani, uweza wake wa milele na Uungu wake; hata wasiwe na udhuru;
21 kwa sababu, walipomjua Mungu hawakumtukuza kama ndiye Mungu wala kumshukuru; bali walipotea katika uzushi wao, na mioyo yao yenye ujinga ikatiwa giza.
22 Wakijinena kuwa wenye hekima walipumbazika;
23 wakaubadili utukufu wa Mungu asiye na uharibifu kwa mfano wa sura ya binadamu aliye na uharibifu, na ya ndege, na ya wanyama, na ya vitambaavyo.
24 Kwa ajili ya hayo Mungu aliwaacha katika tamaa za mioyo yao, waufuate uchafu, hata wakavunjiana heshima miili yao.
25 Kwa maana waliibadili kweli ya Mungu kuwa uongo, wakakisujudia kiumbe na kukiabudu badala ya Muumba anayehimidiwa milele. Amina.
26 Hivyo Mungu aliwaacha wafuate tamaa zao za aibu, hata wanawake wakabadili matumizi ya asili kwa matumizi yasiyo ya asili;
27 wanaume nao vivyo hivyo waliyaacha matumizi ya mke, ya asili, wakawakiana tamaa, wanaume wakiyatenda yasiyopasa, wakapata nafsini mwao malipo ya upotevu wao yaliyo haki yao.
28 Na kama walivyokataa kuwa na Mungu katika fahamu zao, Mungu aliwaacha wafuate akili zao zisizofaa, wayafanye yasiyowapasa.
29 Wamejawa na udhalimu wa kila namna, uovu na tamaa na ubaya; wamejawa na husuda, na uuaji, na fitina, na hadaa; watu wa nia mbaya, wenye kusengenya,
30 wenye kusingizia, wenye kumchukia Mungu, wenye jeuri, wenye kutakabari, wenye majivuno, wenye kutunga mabaya, wasiowatii wazazi wao,
31 wasio na ufahamu, wenye kuvunja maagano, wasiopenda jamaa zao, wasio na rehema;
32 ambao wakijua sana hukumu ya haki ya Mungu, ya kwamba wayatendao hayo wamestahili mauti, wanatenda hayo, wala si hivyo tu, bali wanakubaliana nao wayatendao.
 
Leviticus 18:22
"Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin."
 

They support homosexuality just like other people
