You gotta love it, and it will piss you off at the same time. John Kerry's daughter is happy to admit that she disagrees with dad about gay marriage. She's all for it. Mary Cheney, on the other hand, is more than happy to sit back and give her tacit approval to dad's gay-bashing support of a federal constitutional amendment. It's wonderful, but sad, and very telling, that a straight woman is a better profile in gay courage than one of our own. It's time we replace Mary Cheney with a daughter who actually sticks up for our community.

John Kerry's younger daughter is emerging as a woman as outspoken as her stepmother telling reporters she disagrees with her father on same-sex marriage.
Sitting with her sister Alexandra in a question and answer session with reporters to the Democratic National Convention from across the country, Vanessa Kerry was asked if there were any issues on which she was at odds with her father.
'Gay marriage,' she declared, as some party aides winced.
'To be fair - I've been on the record about it - I personally believe in gay marriage,' the 27 year old Harvard med student added.
'He believes in civil unions, which is still equal rights under the law ... I respect his opinion enormously ... but if you want to get into the semantics of it, that's it.'
