My entry earlier (Bushie censorship of GAYNESS) reminded me of thoughts I was having last night - I caught a news story that Alan Keyes' 19-year-old daughter has come out of the closet. I started thinking - what is it about these arch-conservative politician types that seems to cause their female relations to be lesbians? (Okay, I don't know that I mean for that to necessarily be a cause-and-effect kind of an implication, but I don't feel like figuring out another way to phrase it.) Alan Keyes, Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich..... Is it really a cause and effect? Or is this "happening" in their families just as much as in other families, only it's more newsworthy in theirs because of their political/public rhetoric? And why is it always the women in their families and never the men?

(To his credit, Cheney has been more moderate on the issue than I would have expected of him - say, gay marriage - barring the whole post-debate non-issue of I-can't-believe-you-outed-my-already-out-daughter!!!)

Anyway, just wondering aloud....
