Mary Cheney equates this alleged discrimination to denial of rights in the past to women and blacks and prohibitions against interracial marriage.

The orientation toward homosexuality, wherever it comes from, is very strong in some people. It is natural for them to pursue happiness in accordance with that. They are free to make that choice. I don't fault a person at all for that. It doesn't matter how much is genetic, or development before or after birth.

However you see that as a "choice" or almost beyond choice, it still is the case that existing rational conventions around marriage are oriented towards the one man and one woman union that is our very strong custom. I see no reason to change it. Let us be tolerant within reason, and let us make sure appropriate contracts can be entered into. It is not a civil right to force all laws and persons to erase differences between your own relationship type and the legally recognized one.
