Mary Cheney Talks About Her Family’s Personal Stake In Marriage Equality Fight

[n2doc]

WASHINGTON — Mary Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, went to Indiana this week to make the conservative case for marriage equality as the state debates a proposed amendment to ban same-sex couples from marrying.

Many political, business and education leaders in the state oppose the proposal, HJR-6, and Cheney’s visit was a part of the effort against the measure.

“I believe that all families — regardless of how they look or how they’re made or where they live — that all families deserve to be treated with the same respect, dignity, legal rights and recognitions as every other,” she said in video from the event provided by Freedom Indiana. “I firmly believe that, and I certainly hope that our country will continue to move towards that goal.”

The Cheney family has recently been in the news for their own internal differences on the subject. Liz Cheney, the former vice president’s elder daughter, is challenging Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi in the state’s 2014 Republican primary, and in so doing has stated her opposition to marriage equality — a move that prompted Mary Cheney’s wife, Heather Poe, to criticize Liz Cheney on Facebook.
