All Kerry said -- in his rebuttal on a question to the President about whether he believed homosexuality is a choice -- was that if the President had any doubts, he could ask Mary Cheney, or any number of gay people Kerry has met who have struggled with the issue of sexual identity -- and they would tell him that there is no choice. That they are just being how God made them.
I don't see that mention as being a cheap shot or a negative comment -- and I think that only people who abhor homosexuality and homosexuals would see it that way.
I suppose Lynn can complain about her daughter being mentioned as part of this political argument, but Mary is openly gay and is part of the B/C campaign staff, and they are all aligned with a President who has tried to make "gay marriage" a constitutional issue.
Lynn is a harpy, and has always seemed to me to be embarassed by her daughter's sexuality (to the extent she has discussed it publicly -- I may be projecting somewhat from her politics generally). As I recall, during the 2000 campaign she initially denied to reporters that Mary was gay. So, in sum, I don't give much credence to anything Lynn says on this point.
