Mary'sfacebooksite links to this article about her opponent. Clearly the article tries to stroke rightwing fears of gay candidate Steve Pougnet. But let's not forget the right has their own don't ask don't tells. Gay members, like Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), David Dreier (R-CA) and Patty McHenry (R-NC) are arch-conservatives way on the far right of the political spectrum. And who can forget limp wrists like Larry Craig (R-ID), Mark Foley (R-FL) or Ed Schrock (R-VA)?

All kidding aside, someone's sexuality is immaterial to their stand on important issues.

On a side note, I went to high school with Mary. She was a bit of a partier back then before she became a GOP rubberstamp.
