The Secret Gay Loved Ones of Homophobic Politicians

And let’s not forget the transexual former brother-in-law of the current Virginia  Gov

One of the great mysteries of political homophobia is how the people who advocate it reconcile politicized hatred with familial love. Dick Cheney lived a paradox, quietly acknowledging his lesbian daughter Mary and campaigning to allow her to remain a second-class citizen. Alan Keyes, on the other hand, stayed consistent: He disowned daughter Maya after she came out at a gay Valentine’s Day rally. Karl Rove denies knowing father was gay. Newt Gingrich ignores his half-sister who is an LGBT activist. And Michele Bachmann—whose gay step-sister came out publicly at one of Bachmann’s anti-gay rallies—has yet to acknowledge the gay-related unrest in her extended family.
