Dick Cheney Comes Out for Gay Marriage

Dick Cheney was largely silent on the issue of gay marriage during his eight years as vice president under George W. Bush. In a 2004 vice presidential debate with Democratic candidate John Edwards, for example, Cheney wouldn't say what he thought about a constitutional amendment that would limit marriage to a woman and a man. But in a speech today at the National Press Club, Cheney supported gay marriage, saying, "I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish, any kind of arrangement they wish." Cheney, who has a gay daughter, said he thought states should get to decide what constitutes marriage. For more on what he said, check out our colleagues at The Swamp.
