Chelsea got the same treatment the Bush girls get, They all have pluses and minuses. None of them are proper debate topics or answers.

Hmmmm. I don't hear you complaining too loudly about Chelsea's treatment by Rush Limbaugh and his ilk, and you even piled on yourself with the comment of THK's being a "hag". THK is not running for anything either.
The reason it's relevant is that gay marriage is a hot button in this campaign; just as having a retarded child might be relevant if "retarded" issues (I'm not saying that artfully, but I know you know what I mean) were at issue in a campaign. Why would anyone who doesn't think it an "insult" to call someone a lesbian think that mentioning it was a "low blow"? There doesn't seem to be any outrage regarding mentioning one's family in the debate context ("he's a good dad" etc.).
