There are few policy differences between Wyoming Republican Senate candidate Liz Cheney and the incumbent she's trying to oust in 2014, Sen. Mike Enzi. Except for one issue: Gay marriage.
Unlike Enzi, the 46-year-old daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney supports the right for states to legalize gay marriage. At least that's 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.

Thanks for the reference. That's good information.
However, the resolution doesn't officially attempt to define marriage imo.

Today the feds do recognize gay marriage in the military, federal employment, and immigration, and all states will accept gay marriage, just as all states accept legal common law marriages, although all but about 9 refuse to allow them to be formed within their own boundaries.
