House to vote on Samuel David Cheney gay-bashing amendment today

Republican Congressman Virgil Goode is going to be offering an amendment in the US House today bashing Vice President Cheney's lesbian daughter, Mary Cheney, her lesbian partner, Heather Poe, their newborn child, Samuel David Cheney, and all gay families who visit the District of Columbia (Mary and Heather had their baby in a DC hospital a few weeks ago). You see, the Republicans don't think Samuel David should be allowed to have Mary and Heather both visit him if he ever ends up in the hospital. George Bush, who in 2004 had no problem with Samuel David's parents having the right to see him in the hospital, now thinks that it's such an egregious crime, he's going to veto any DC Appropriations bill that doesn't take a swipe at Samuel David and his two mommies.

Will Dick Cheney and Lynne Cheney speak up and defend their flesh and blood, or will they leave their own grandchild behind?
