"The official White House photo caption indicates the child’s “parents” are
Mary Cheney and her homosexual partner, Heather Poe.
Stephen Bennett, a
pro-family advocate who left the homosexual lifestyle and now has a ministry to
convince others of its dangers, expressed his concern about the White House’s
decision to caption the photo this way. “What is extremely troubling is the
official White House caption that appears underneath the photo on the official
White House website,” said Bennett.
Rather than merely stating that the
child is the “child of their daughter Mary Cheney,' the White House photo
caption states, “... His parents are the Cheney's daughter Mary, and her
partner, Heather Poe.” "
I understand that people have different views of what is right and wrong in terms of the gay lifestyle. What I don't understand is why those who oppose it can't just allow those who want to live their life that way to do so. I am not even suggesting that they have to support it as being right, but you don't have to support something or oppose it. Not to mention that being so concerned about something as little as a caption seems silly.
While there is the right to believe it is sin, and I would even grant that this means that a faith as the right to choose to grant them the right to marry in their church or not. What I question is where does the right to dictate the lives of others, who don't touch your own come from. If they are living in sin, it is their sin and a personal issue between them and god.
