I am strongly pro-life and I am not pro-gay marriage, she said in a statement. I believe the issue of marriage must be decided by the states, and by the people in the states, not by judges and not even by legislators, but by the people themselves.
The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney was responding to a reported push poll that led voters to believe that she aggressively promotes gay marriage. She is running against incumbent Republican Mike Enzi for the states Senate seat.
Mary Cheney married partner Heather Poe in Washington DC -- where same-sex marriage is legal -- last June. The couple has two children.
In a Facebook status posted Friday, Mary Cheney wrote "For the record, I love my sister, but she is dead wrong on the issue of marriage," the New York Times reported.

When Dick Cheney seems like the compassionate one in the family, that's fucked up.

(14,914 posts)3. I wonder if Liz Cheney feels the same way about inter-racial marriage.
When she says, "I believe the issue of marriage must be decided by the states, and by the people in the states, not by judges and not even by legislators, but by the people themselves, that seems to open the door for bigotry and discrimination even beyond the groups she herself wants to marginalize and deny equal protection.

I'll bet it's as bad as it gets, but ignorance is bliss. I just don't want to know.
