Dick Cheney Sides With Daughter Liz In the Liz-Mary Gay Marriage Dispute

The former vice president praises the way Liz Cheney has dealt with her gay sister with “love and respect.”

“This is an issue we have dealt with privately for many years, and we are pained to see it become public,” Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne, said in a statement. “Since it has, one thing should be clear. Liz has always believed in the traditional definition of marriage.”

…the elder Cheneys praised Liz’s behavior toward Mary, and warned against a distortion of her views.

Liz Cheney “has also always treated her sister and her sister’s family with love and respect, exactly as she should have done,” the parents wrote. “Compassion is called for, even when there is disagreement about such a fundamental matter and Liz’s many kindnesses shouldn’t be used to distort her position.”
