Hell Has Frozen Over! Dick Cheney Supports Gay Marriage!

Former Republican vice president Dick Cheney took questions yesterday while speaking at the National Press Club for the Gerald R. Ford Foundation journalism awards. One of those questions was about gay marriage.

You may or may not know; But, Cheney's daughter, Mary (pictured above, center, with her partner, Heather Poe) is gay.

“I think that freedom means freedom for everyone. As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish. The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute to protect this, I don’t support. I do believe that the historically the way marriage has been regulated is at the state level. It has always been a state issue and I think that is the way it ought to be handled, on a state-by-state basis....But I don’t have any problem with that. People ought to get a shot at that.”

As you know, Wendy supports gay marriage.
