What do you mean? Explain.
Dick Cheney should have publicly stated he loves his daughter and always will. But her public actions have brought shame and disgrace to the family and he cannot support her.
I think where things went wrong is when Liz and the family showed support for Mary. Did they go to their "wedding"? I would not have.
If Cheney had made it clear to Mary privately, and if necessary, made it clear to the public that he was against homosexual “marriage”, Mary and her friend might never have dared to publicly air their grievances.
