Politics: the homophobic right

Andrew Sullivan (a prominent homosexual conservative blogger) doesn't particularly like the way the right is outraged over Kerry's mention of Mary Cheney in the debate:

Mary Cheney is out of the closet and a member, with her partner, of the vice-president's family. That's a public fact. No one's privacy is being invaded by mentioning this. When Kerry cites Bush's wife or daughters, no one says it's a "low blow." The double standards are entirely a function of people's lingering prejudice against gay people.
