Well Mary I do value life and your father has done a lot of good but this birth brings me to a conundrum.
Have you considered adoption? Even better I can suggest some wonderful conversion therapy programs here in Colorado Springs - I can provide references from well known heterosexuals like Ted Haggard and my close friend John Paulk.
I do commend you for having a boy but I doubt you need anymore testosterone in your home.

Many congratulations on your new son. It's my hope he's able to grow up in an American far more tolerant than the one in which we've grown up.
Personally, for my partner and I, adoption will be the more likely recourse when it comes time to start a family (hopefully soon!) since we're both men. I'm scared just thinking about it, how we're going to navigate those waters, secure the proper legal protections, to say nothing of paying those bills... But then I see pictures, like official White House portrait of your son, and I think, how can we not do this? Best of luck.

Dear Mary,
I am saddened that you would choose to deprive your daughter of a father. You have chosen to embrace homosexuality which your father and George Bush have defined as evil itself. Yet you championed and campaigned for your father, Bush, and the GOP. I find it totally unconscionable that you would subject other glbt people to your platform of pure hate, and yet practice your selfish lifestyle in the comfort of your rich digs. You are a totally immoral and sinful person for the injustice you have assisted on other glbt people. There were gay parents stripped of their parental rights because of the anti-gay hatred and the homophobia you caused. You should be deeply deeply ashamed. Your son will never have equal rights because of your intentional crimes against others.

Every time another anti-gay bill passes in a state like Virginia, let your child know that regular glbt people are actually suffering, actually dieing, acutally committing suicide. But you are safe because of your disgusting wealth. You have bought a family and let all other people "eat cake". You are a hypocrite and a witch directly out of the pits of Hell.

You, Mary Cheney, campaigned hard for your dad and President Bush in 2000 and 2004 when they both promised their right wing base that they would deny the most basic rights to gay people. People like you. In many states it is illegal for gay people-- people like you-- to adopt. You've done nothing to preserve the rights of parenthood to gay people-- people like you. You and I do not agree on many political points but we must agree that gay people-- people like you-- make supremely great parents. I hope becoming a mother is the greatest experience of your life and that it teaches you how important it is to fight against people-- people like President Bush-- who say your are immoral and unfit to be a parent.
I really do mean it when I say congratulations. I am happy you and your partner were able to conceive and have a healthy baby boy. I hope to one day do the same. But if I can't I would liek to adopt. You are a powerful person. Please help make sure that like you I too can one day become a parent.

Congrats to you both... and to your families too! Having the baby arrive is a really special thing and now comes the short spell of sleepless nights and then the smiles and crawling and first steps and all the rest. My thoughts are with you as you begin this fun place called parenthood. It now may become a more vital issue for you to take all the many and various legal steps to gain the protections our kind of families deserve. Join with us as we all work together to ensure that we are families that are able to be healthy and happy and protected.

Mary, during the exact period you were living in Texas, Bush supported sodomy laws which specifically defined you as a wanted sex criminal. Then you went on to campaign for Bush/Cheney and viciously demonize those who didn't. Mary, do you consider it healthy for an innocent young boy to be raised by two wanted sex criminals (Bush's definition)? Why don't you speak up for once you selfish swine? Thousands suffered unspeakable horrors due to your silence and complicity with bigoted GOP talking points. Shame on you.

Mary: It sure must be nice to be the daughter of privilege and to have the acceptance of parents who otherwise do everything in their power to keep others from having the same privileges that you enjoy, but are willing to grant an exemption for you, because, you know, you're family. Your child will grow up not wanting for anything, save perhaps for the fellowship of other children of GLBT parents who have had to fight against your father and his party and everything that they've come to represent in order to enjoy just a few basic rights in a few states.
Heather: Good luck with having any parental rights at all if you and Mary break up.

Oh - What a lovely picture of the Vice PResident with their new grandbaby. It would have been nice for the White House to have had a picture of ALL of you. Too bad that politics leaves you the parents on the sidelines, while the VP gets to play proud grandfather. I have doubt his feelings for your baby are genuine, but it's entirely too sad that his feelings of love for the two of you have to be crowded out by his pandering to the rightest bigots of the Republican Party....

It is quite pleasant to bring a "little bundle of joy" into a white bread world of privilege and power where acceptance can be bought and bad experiences avoided.

You stood by while other gays were persecuted, removed from their jobs, kept from their spouse's hospital room, and had their children taken away. You campaigned for Bush/Cheney while other gays were spit on, bashed, imprisoned, brutalized, and murdered. You need to see what you condoned by your silence and your vicious protection of secrecy and shame about your orientation (you called Kerry a "f'ing bastard" for merely acknowledging you are gay). You will see the corpses you sent away from this planet. You will see the innocent children who were left parentless by your GOP hatefest. You will see all this when you burn in Hell for your sins.

I do not understand it; I see no reason to support a group of people that seeks to undermine my civil rights.
Your beautiful baby will grow up being taught that his family is an abomination, that his mothers are undeserving of rights, and having his entire existence questioned by people who think that his mothers are somehow evil or sinful for their love for each other.

Mary, remember when your buddy Bush considered you a sex criminal?
The Texas sodomy law criminalized private consensual sexual activity between same-sex adult couples. Texas is one of a handful of states that singled out gay people by banning adult sexual intimacy only between people of the same sex. Gov. George W. Bush publicly supported the sodomy law, calling it a "symbol of traditional values" and said that he would veto any attempt to overturn the law legislatively. The state Republican Party platform also explicitly opposed the decriminalization of sodomy, stating that "the practice of sodomy tears at the fabric of society" and "contributes to the breakdown of the family unit."
Remember, Heather has absolutely no parental rights with your baby. You and your father were careful to be sure you carried the child since you are the millionaire. What about the common folks who can't buy their rights? Will you still campaign for hate when your baby grows up?

I know that, but then, if that is the case, why is the father of this baby unknown and if they do know (I am assuming there was a medical transfer of sperm from some sperm bank and not the act of coitus) why is the father kept a secret? I know they are both lesbians, and in today’s world, the anonymous sperm donor, implanted by injection, is seemingly acceptable to lesbians. But, it does not make much sense to me in my ignorance. Educate me please, as I do not understand. They want the sperm, they want a baby, as lesbians loving another woman who cannot satisfy that very female desire, but they don’t want or cannot accept the love of a man who will give them the baby they so desire–so compellingly desire?

According to Jennifer Chisler of Family Pride: "In the state of Virginia, it’s very difficult for lesbian couples to have children together. Heather Poe will have no legal relationship with her child. She can’t adopt as a second parent. She won’t have her name on the birth certificate."
What are you, as a lesbian family, prepared to do about this? And please don't say "write another book"... that first attempt didn't go so well. Stand-up, speak out, do what's right, for yourselves, and tens of thousands of other families just like your own.

It will be nice one day when they don't hear about hatred or hear that their family is not as worthy as other families. Remember to always be proud, Best Regards, Ira Sheres, DMD & Steven Sokoll, MD

Congratulations! Parenthood is wonderful, full of happiness and laughs, play-dough, finger paint, hockey practice, trumpet lessons, skinned knees, sleepless nights, children's Motrin, love, love, and more love. Your new family is a special gift, Samuel David will bring you lots of love and tears and joy, savor every moment. We (and our 3 kids, dog, 3 cats, and foster bunny) wish you all the best.

Congratulations! My partner and I adopted (together, as a couple) our son, Zack, in 1998. Parenting is the most incredible journey you will ever embark upon. Our thoughts are with you!
Please, please, please...I hope you find it necessary, at some point, to join the fight for the equalizing of family rights in our nation. Heather deserves the right to be recognized as Samuel's legal parent as much as you do.
There is a wonderful quote that says "Silence is the voice of complicity." Allowing the world to continue treating us as second class citizens without making a stand is as much as telling the "other side" we're OK with being treated that way. Please don't be complicit. Samuel deserves to be able to proudly and openly talk about his family - without reservation - without fear - without shame...All of our children deserve this.
Again, our best wishes to you. Enjoy every second with Samuel...it goes so fast!
Karen, Mary Beth, and Zack

Congratulations on the birth of your son, Samuel. 28 years ago, our son was born to us in a world that was much less accepting. We made the decision, for his sake, to be authentic in every way. That meant he grew up in a courageous, out-of-the-closet household. In gradeschool, unbeknown to us, he decided to make sure that all of his classmates knew he had two moms. As the result, he garnered a tremendous amount of support from his friends, avoided the stress of hiding, and he further developed what was already a strong character, and a compassion for others. Today, he is a wonderful heterosexual man, who has testified and worked on our behalf. We are so proud of him. Our advice to you? It's time to be OUTspoken, so that he learns his life is not dependent on the politics of his grandfather. Teach him by example, to speak out against the bigotry and hatred the likes of which the Bush administration has encouraged. God Bless you, and again, congratulations.

You are a sellout and an embarrassment to the GLBT Community. Your backing of the Bush/Cheney ticket in 2000 & 2004 is a disgrace. There hasn't been a more homophobic President in the Oval Office. Your selling ou your integrity in helping Bush get elected is shameful. You are guaranteed plenty of money for the rest of your life because of daddy so you don't have to be worried about being denied rights ... you can buy them.
Just because you had a baby doesn't make you the poster child of gay parenting. Loved the photo of you parents with your child in the media. Where is the one of you and Heather with your child?

Letter to Family Pride and the Digital Baby Shower:
I am horrified that I have given support to this organization and contained in the June eNewsletter I read praise for Mary Cheney, no less a Digital Baby Shower. Absolutely horrified!
Ms. Cheney is more that entitled to her views, support and certainly privacy over the joy of her new family member. My disgust is not directed at Ms. Cheney, we already know her color, but Family Pride for running a Digital Baby Shower.
It is impossible to overlook the fact that Ms. Cheney has not only proven not to be a friend of gays and lesbians, but worked and supported an administration that made public condemnation of gays and lesbians socially acceptable. The fact that she is a lesbian and given birth will never erase this transgression upon the gay and lesbian community. While it would indeed be unjust to pin 100% responsibility upon her, she certainly deserves much greater scrutiny, and certainly not a positive spin at this site.
It is so very disappointing to realize that even Family Pride is not above the political game. That being said, I understand that it is a better political move to hook Family Pride’s wagon to the likes of Mary Cheney than just a regular family like mine. I do not wish to be in the same company as Ms. Cheney, because as she has demonstrated in her past, she is more than happy to work against me and my family.
Today, I realized that even Family Pride is not a safe place for me and my family. Not because I fear for my personal safety, but because it is an organization that appears to not have the ability to say that even Ms. Cheney has crossed the line. The exuberant Digital Baby Shower gives me great pause.
With regret, I am now forced to wonder if my support of this organization would be better utilized elsewhere. My family and I will march forward with other families that have the ability to discern real support and coalition from the false. Where do you stand Family Pride?

Without meaning to, you are giving courage and example to those who come behind you.

Gen 19:15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
Gen 19:16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
Gen 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
Gen 19:18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
Gen 19:19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
Gen 19:20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
Gen 19:21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
Gen 19:22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Gen 19:23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
Gen 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
Gen 19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Gen 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Wow I am so happy for the two of you. I hope now both of your parents will finally understand the importance of loving, supporting and advocating for their daugher, her partner and now their son. I believe until every parent of lesbians, gays, bi-sexual, and transgendered are in their fighting for equal rights of their children, we will never be able to get all the rights that their straight brothers and sister have. I am the president of a very rural PFLAG chapter and it is very a very conservative county, and I cannot get parents to acknowledge that their gay children need for them to be strong advocates, which including writing, and visiting their local and state and federal government representatives. Maybe if your parents now become role model for these parents, they too will pick up the support and fight for equal rights for all!
