We are instructed to love the sinner, hate the sin. Sounds like Liz and her Dad are living up to that. Life is hard when someone you love sins, but piling on adds nothing to the debate. Liz has expressed her position clearly. Let’s all move on.
Liz and "dad", both support gay marriage, and have for years. Why keep pretending differently?
"Unlike Enzi, the 46-year-old daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney supports the right for states to legalize gay marriage. At least thats what she said in 2009, in an interview with MSNBC, of all places. At that was a time when the notion of same-sex marriage had considerably less support.
And that has even Daily Kos writer Scott Welch offering at least limited praise for Liz Cheney."
Well, look I think, you know, my family has been very clear about this, that we think freedom means freedom for everybody and that this is an issue that states have to decide for themselves.
She went on to reiterate opposition to a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, expressed support for the State Departments extension of benefits to same-sex couples, and said, I think its wrong to discriminate, in those relationships, based on someones sexual preference. Additionally, she supported repeal of Dont Ask Dont Tell.
