A new Internet ad campaign launched Monday targets U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter Mary and her silence about the Bush administration's support for the proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

Earlier this year, Aravosis and Robin Tyler started the Mary Cheney-themed Web site DearMary.com, on which site visitors can post open letters to Cheney.

"You might not feel that it is your business to tell the Vice President of the country what to do," wrote "Olivia" from Santa Ana, Calif., in one of the postings, "but please speak to your father and tell him to stand by his prior conviction that same-sex marriage is an issue best decided by the states individually. You know that putting discrimination into the United States Constitution is reprehensible."

I agree with this point of view.
