In It's My Turn Now, she proudly tells of how her father kicked a gay man out of his office who'd threatened to use Mary's sexuality against Cheney-"The only thing threatening my dad ever accomplished was to make him angry"-and spends little time grappling with why her father didn't support gay rights in the military. Mary refused to be in the audience when George W. Bush declared his support for a constitutional amendment against gay marriage, and considers quitting her work on the campaign because of the Federal Marriage Act, she writes in the book-but she still takes great pains to say that W. was still the best guy for the country, and that she supported him. Mary writes: "The consensus was that when an issue causes strong feelings, as gay rights does, bland is probably all right." Not only is it personally cruel to her, but Liz's policy position also makes it harder for Mary to continue her outreach work on behalf of Republicans to the gay community.
