RuPaul and Drag Race responds to Mary Cheney's statement about Drag and Blackface - WATCH

Interesting Quote: Mary Cheney


Why is it socially acceptable — as a form of entertainment — for men to put on dresses, make up and high heels and act out every offensive stereotype of women (bitchy, catty, dumb, slutty, etc.). But it is not socially acceptable — as a form of entertainment — for a white person to put on blackface and act out offensive stereotypes of African Americans? Shouldn’t both be okay or neither? Why does society treat these activities so differently?

Interesting Quote: Mary Cheney to her sister, Liz


"Liz - this isn't just an issue on which we disagree - you're just wrong - and on the wrong side of history. For the record, I love my sister, but she is dead wrong on the issue of marriage. Freedom means freedom for everyone.. That means that all families — regardless of how they look or how they are made — all families are entitled to the same rights, privileges and protections as every other."

Mary, Mary quite a silly, foolish and lost mess-ary


Mary Cheney donated $1000 to Rep. Rob Portman, a Senate wantabee who voted against gay marriage and allowing gay couples to adopt children in the D.C.

I'm lost with this choice of hers, but you never know these days.

Cheney’s donation is remarkable considering her public comments on same-sex marriage and gay adoption. In 2004, she reportedly considered quitting her father’s re-election campaign after President Bush endorsed a federal marriage banning gay marriage. In 2007, she rebuked televangelist James Dobson for comments criticizing gay couples’ adoption.

“Every piece of remotely responsible research that has been done in the last 20 years has shown there is no difference between children raised by same-sex parents and children raised by opposite-sex parents,” Cheney said. “What matters is being raised in a stable, loving environment.”

“When Heather and I decided to have a baby, I knew it wasn’t going to be the most popular decision,” Cheney added. “This is a baby. This is a blessing from God. It is not a political statement. It is not a prop to be used in a debate, on either side of a political issue. It is my child.”

Good grief
