If the cheney's didnt know about their daughter's sexual orientation and if they had not already publicly acknowledged said orientaton than I would be in partial agreement with you.
However, as far as mainstream society is concerned being homosexual is no longer the kiss of death that it used to be. Queer Eye for the Straight guy, Will and Grace, hell, even the term metrosexual all point to a society that is becoming more and more accepting of homosexuality. The problem lies with the religious right's inability to accept homosexuality and not mainstream society imho.
