Someone help me out here. Isn’t it possible to have friends and family who are “gay”, but, still want them to find happiness in life? But at the same time, still not want to change the definition of marriage???
Isn’t it possible that Liz Cheney loves her sister in spite of homosexuality, wants her sister to be happy in life, but at the same time, doesn’t kowtow to the liberal homosexual agenda??? Is that an irreconciliable difference????

No it is not. However, we must understand that to gays, it is not a matter of leaving them alone to pursue whatever relationships they want... they want EVERYONE to celebrate their lifestyle and call it NORMAL ( that includes the religiously devout ).
Dilbert, I think this entire kerfuffle is just another example of homosexuals trying to make homosexuality the sine qua non of elective politics. They seem to be the most relentlessly self-absorbed people in the nation; and, yes, I know that is saying a lot, given the high profile race-baiting we have endured over the last few decades. They seem to have never understood that tolerance does not require affirmation, that it’s perfectly reasonable to be nice to people with whom you passionately disagree, but then again, such willful denial is part and parcel of victim-hood, isn’t it?
I will be glad to help you out here.
Yes, it's certainly possible for someone to love a family member who is gay and have a good relationship with them, and want them to be happy -- but never-the-less not believe in gay marriage or to accept the relationship that they're in is a "marriage". A number of conservative politicians are in situations like that.
However, in Liz Cheney's case, this did not occur. Liz Cheney whole-heartily supported her sister's gay marriage at the time it happened, and has spent the last four years applauding every single advance of the "gay rights" movement, whether it personally involves her sister or not (gays serving openly in the military, etc.). Apparently Liz Cheney feels you have to support 100% of the gay rights agenda so she wouldn't hurt poor Mary's feelings.
Her sudden flip-flop now that she's running for the U.S. Senate is a staunchly conservative state won't change her history on this issue. Most likely, she continues to applaud her sister's gay "marriage" in private, while publicly claiming otherwise.
My SIL is gay and is “married.” Our family loves these 2 women, our kids love them, but just because we want them to be happy and not lonely doesn’t mean we support their lifestyle or SSM.
It’s the gays who make this a zero sum game and demand total surrender to their agenda.
You would think so but that’s not the tactic of the gay rights movement. The left creates a ‘false choice’: i.e. allow same sex alignments OR be a hater; allow free birth control Or be a hater; allow single payer socialized medicine OR... you get the idea.
No, you’re right.
I don’t believe Lynne Cheney supports same-sex marriage, either.
Yep, it is, in fact, as a Catholic I believe that fornication, or premarital sex is wrong, it hasn’t made me go trashing the homes of the high school/college pimps with grafitti, or attack my brother, who was living with his girlfriend for 12 years, and having kids, without marrying her, either in church or legally. I believe that homosexual behavior is wrong, but I have never actually attacked or done any real harm to anyone whom I have known to be homosexual. Again, that’s what the fringe political activists do, they have to make themselves victims, even if people just don’t pay attention to them and let them go about their business. It’s among the most absurd behavior I have ever seen. It also reeks of unhealthy paranoia as well. I mean, if you have to live your life thinking that people who think differently than you are out to get you, that’s just plain depressing.
