Mary Cheney ... Great Falls, VA ... 1000.00 ... 05/14/2009

Taken from a public record website listing donations to the ''Portman for Senate Committee'' website. The website is for a Republican Senate candidate, Rob Portman, who used to be a Representative for Ohio and, according to RawStory and OnTheIssues, voted to ban gays from adopting here in the District of Columbia, and also voted in favor of adding a Constitutional Amendment to ban same-sex marriages. Both measures failed. Mary Cheney is well-known to be the lesbian daughter of former Vice President and Republican Congressman Dick Cheney. She has been a long-time Republican operative, but was also a corporate liaison for Coors to the gay community, and twice became a national focal point for gay-rights issues: when John Kerry mentioned her during a Presidential debate, and later when she became a parent herself along with her long-time partner Heather Poe.
