She is a very out lesbian. And he did that to expose the xenophobia the GOP holds as a core value with THIS administration.

I disagree 'Fro, I think Kerry had different motives for selecting Cheney's daughter as an example in the "gay debate". He selected Cheney's daughter for a very specific reason. To me that reason was to put a face to the "gay issue" for the Republicans out there and for them to deal with their homophobic ways once and for all. To me this is why the Republicans are so p*ssed about it. Kerry didn't "out" Cheney's daughter, he "outed" the whole Republican party. This is no longer an issue that they can snidely ignore and call a liberal problem. This problem has come home to roost and in the higest places. This is why Republicans are so upset about this. They now HAVE to deal with the issue that they hoped to ignore.
