"I think, you know, freedom means freedom for everyone," Cheney said in a speech at the National Press Club. "I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish, any kind of arrangement they wish."Cheney, who has a gay daughter, said marriage has always been a state issue.
"And I think that's the way it ought to be handled today, that is, on a state-by-state basis. Different states will make different decisions. But I don't have any problem with that. I think people ought to get a shot at that," he said.
It's not a whole lot, but it's certainly overdue. If I were him, I would've spoken up on the issue a lot sooner. Then again, if I were him, I would publicly support my daughter no matter what her choices were. Good for him.
