DICK CHENEY ON GAY MARRIAGE
"...freedom means freedom for everyone. People ought to be able to free -- ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship..."
via SFGate.com:
Vice President Dick Cheney spelled out Tuesday his differences with President Bush on the volatile issue of gay marriage, while for the first time discussing the sexual orientation of his gay daughter in a public setting.
Asked his position on the subject at a town hall meeting in Davenport, Iowa, Cheney replied:
"Lynne and I have a gay daughter, so it's an issue that our family is very familiar with. ... With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People ought to be able to free -- ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to."
The Family Research Council, a conservative group with close White House ties, called Cheney's remarks disappointing.
"Unfortunately protection of our values is made more difficult when mixed messages emanate from the White House," said Tony Perkins, the group's president. "We support President Bush's commitment to a constitutional amendment on marriage, but we are left to wonder why the vice president is allowed to depart from this position when the top of the ticket is unified on all other issues."
