Hun Sen Disowns His Gay Daughter

Cambodian PM cuts ties with gay daughter

Cambodia's prime minister said that his adopted daughter is a lesbian and he was severing ties with her, but he urged the country not to discriminate against gays.

"My adopted daughter now has a wife. I'm quite disappointed," Hun Sen said.

He made the rare revelation about his closely guarded family life during a speech at a university graduation ceremony.

Hun Sen said he plans to file a civil court case to disown his adopted daughter, whom he did not name, so that she cannot claim any inheritance from his family.

"We are concerned that she might one day cause us trouble ... and try to stake her claim for a share of our assets," he said.

The prime minister and his wife Bun Rany have five children, three sons and two daughters. He said they adopted their third daughter when she was 18 days old. She has carried his family name "Hun" just like his biological children.

Hun Sen, meanwhile, told the graduating class at the National Institute of Education that it is wrong to discriminate against homosexuals.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to appeal to parents and society not to discriminate against them (gays)," Hun Sen said.

"Most of them are good people and are not doing alcohol, drugs or racing vehicles" like the members of youth gangs, he added.

Sam Vuthy, coordinator of Women's Agenda for Change, a nonprofit Cambodian group advocating gay rights, hailed Hun Sen's appeal, saying she hoped it would reduce discrimination against homosexuals in Cambodia.

Cheney at odds with Bush on Gay Marriage

“Lynne and I have a gay daughter, so it’s an issue our family is very familiar with,” Cheney told an audience that included his daughter. “With the respect to the question of relationships, my general view is freedom means freedom for everyone. ... People ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to. The question that comes up with the issue of marriage is what kind of official sanction or approval is going to be granted by government? Historically, that’s been a relationship that has been handled by the states. The states have made that fundamental decision of what constitutes a marriage,” he said.

less her heart...how awful to have your dad disown you because of something you can't help and is a normal part of genetics. I have so little tolerance for mean people...and that is just mean. I think cali was correct in sayiong that some conservatives get angry and judgemental about gay issues UNTIL it is their child they are talking about. Sadly I think that is true concerning many issues like drug addiction and other stuff. Once the "abnormality" becomes real and personal one can't help but change. A guy who was a huge consevative anti drugs etc now has homes in neighborhoods here in the treasure valley for those people who have drug and alcohol issues when they get out of prison. It was seeing the boy he has loved for the guys whole life get thrown into prison for drug related issues that softened his heart. You can't know till you know then you can't unknow.

 on the other hand.

Most of us have some clue, without having to live each issue.

I get what you are saying but think of all those people who were reared in strict Christian dogmatic cultures and were comfortable in that space and all was good because No one they knew had those issues..then BOOM it's their beloved child who is gay or gets pregnant out of wedlock ( old school expression) or gets caught up in drug use and those people are frozen torn between everthing they were ever taught and the child they love more than life itself. Our poor senator craig is one such man...bless his heart the poor guy grew up on a black spot in a strict Mormon envioroment but he knew he was gay and the awful struggle within to be oneself or fight for normalacy. He is a much older guy and he is still hiding from him,self and everyone else...he thinks. I so admire Barney Frank cept for that male hooker ring operating out of his house years ago. But anyway the man is smart and solid and is out there and openly gay. I don't always agree with his philosophical approach to interests facing our country but he is still an admirable man. The Mormon belief system is so hard to live within if you are outside the "norm". Suicides happen because to be ones true authentic self is so outrasozed if one is gay. So dang tragic. If the parents only knew and understood what their kids were dealing with no parent I can imagine would forsake their kid. How can anyone look into a childs innocent face and later betray that trust they have in their parent. Sometimes for people it sadly takes a tragedy for them to get a clue.

messed up. If I had kids who were in incesuous relationships, I would still support them.

the real news to me is he had the heart to adopt? wow.

considering most folks think the king is gay, i don't see why this is a big deal. hell, hun sen could've use this as a commonality factor with thailand--make it a diplomatic positive.

To be living in the 21st century and be shocked about gays drugs or anything else because of your strict christian dogmatic circle to me is just more proof. These out of touch dillusional fantacy living condemers of others... should NOT be running our country or any levers of power that punish the lives of others. Take their cultish mentality and practice what ever they please. But dont let the write policy and DICTATE how the rest of us live.

maybe he can afford to adopt. Maybe the daughter is from his wife family that died. We don't know the whole story behind the adoption.

If Hun Sen was my dad, I would be happy being disowned by him.

It's easy to judge others and even with our 21st century culture the need to beleve in something greater than ourselves remains. On a personal level so purely imperical...I've never met an athiest who ran a shelter worked at a food bank or did charitale acts for no other purpose than they believed it was the right thing to do. Working a job regardless of how noble it is is still a paying positon so no sacrifice for others with no personal payoff. I'd love to see first hand evidence that an athiest does as much good as those with religious values and beliefs but so far I haven't seen it.

I work with plenty of kids with religious values and they raped their sister and dog.

You expect too much from these people.
they gotta eat, pump gas, pay their mortgage/rent and car.
there are not that many people who love their "jobs".
If they love what do and get a paycheck each month, that's awesome.

does one require to "sacrifice for others with no personal payoff" to be considered noble?

if you can find a Christian group that allows me to work with them in Cambodia without having me to convert or spread God's words, please let me know. Since I won't be getting paid, I need free accommodation and food. I'm ready to go in November 2008.

nobody but you made it and athiest thing. But that should be your first clue. Conservatives and christian fundamentalists always think in black n white extremes.. in zero sum terms. With us or against us... good or evil. 99.9% of the world is not in those extremes.. except for the closed minded rightwingers and fundamentalist thinkers. I explains why they want war on a religous basis, with the extremists in islam... ya all think alike.

My comment was on how out of touch with reality you have to be, to disown your own kid, over their genetic makeup... which the "parents" created!!! Let that one soak in a while. Even you can grasp it eventually.
