Like a Bad Movie

This was bound to happen in real life. And not just to Mary Cheney.
In Florida, ultra-conservative Randall Terry is trying to unseat the current Republican senator in the upcoming primary. Terry is running on a “traditional family values” campaign, which includes pictures of him and his wife with their five children.
The problem is, they have seven children. Two are not pictured. Their daughter Tila had a child out of wedlock, so she's not in the photos -- and neither is their son Jamiel (pictured here, above), who is gay.
“He (Randall Terry) is very big on image,” says Jamiel, and “in a large way, Tila and I mess up that image.”
Jamiel came out publicly in OUT magazine in 2004, and since then, the Associated Press has been following the story of Randall Terry's proud gay son -- who lives in the shadow of a homophobic and ultra-religious father. This current round of family drama started when Jamiel gave an interview to the Associated Press last week.
Jamiel is quick to point out that voters deserve to know about the family values of a candidate who has made that the centerpiece of their campaign. Jamiel maintains that if a candidate is going to talk about strong families, then that candidate should be upfront about the difficulties in their own family.

Typical Republican! Touting 'family values'...but on THEIR terms. Family means unconditional love and inclusiveness...people are confusing religious mores with moral mores...love is love and peace is peace and having well-adjusted children, regardless of who raises them, may well save the human race.

This is especially touching since Randall Terry, the great family man, divorced his wife of almost 20 years and then married his 22yo personal assistant a few months later. As always, family values only apply to the behavior of the other person.
