Prop 8 defense lawyer helping to plan daughter?s same-sex wedding | Trending News | Wisconsin Gazette - Smart, independent and revealing. News, opinion and entertainment coverage

Part-way through the trial on California's now defunct Proposition 8, the stepdaughter of the attorney defending the anti-gay ban came out as a lesbian.
Today the attorney, Charles J. Cooper, is helping daughter Ashley plan her same-sex marriage with her partner of several years.
This twist in the Prop 8 story was disclosed on April 17, coinciding with promotions for the upcoming publication of "Forcing the Spring: Inside the Fight for Marriage Equality" by journalist Jo Becker.
In the book, Becker writes about Cooper's defense of Prop 8, the voter-approved constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman, and about the Cooper family. Debbie Cooper talks about how the plaintiffs in the case, Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, were potential role models for her daughter.

Like when Cheney was demonizing gays, yet had a gay daughter....and he wanted to be around her when she was going to have his grandson.....

Honestly, Moonglow, I don't remember Cheney ever demonizing us.

Probably 'evolved' like Obama did, that is, after Biden screwed up and "forced his hand" to do it much earlier than he had "planned".

Exactly, perhaps just like the lawyer in the OP?

Cheney was decent about gays and lesbians. Learned it from Reagan, who had loads of LGBT buddies but had to play the game with far social con right.

I always thought a lawyer's job was to represent his client to the best of his ability, without pride or prejudice. His client had a case, regardless of what he or his family does at home.

Defense attorneys might not like the idea of putting murderers back on the street, but they have a job to do. This guy might not like the idea of Prop 8, but it's his client's call, not his.
