You don't know that either... Gay marriage isn't just a religious issue, it is an economic and social issue.

Nah, he just thinks she doesn't have a right to any of the governmental benefits of a traditional marriage.

He said she (it's a she right 😛) is going to burn in hell not because she is gay but because she supports Bush (well in more ways then 1) 😀

Is she helping out with her father's campaign? I don't recall Dick or Bush directly stating their stance on Cheney's daughter and her choice of lifestyle, and am kinda surprised they are so adamantly against gay marriage when Cheney's own daughter is a lesbian.

Why? Does his daughter want to marry a woman? Why must everyone automatically assume that all gay people want to get married? Do all straight people want to get married? :roll:

You asked if Cheney's daughter is supporting his campaign. I was merely pointing out that just because she is gay it doesn't necessarily follow that she wants to get married to a woman or that she should not support her father's campaign. I don't see why Bush or Cheney have to state anything about Cheney's daughter. What does one have to do with the other?

Here is what will happen. Gay marriage will be allowed and then 10 years from now the media will be quoting statistics about how divorce is more prevalent now than it was 10 years ago.

Your statement may be valid, but it's not the point of the original post.

Why? It would be against the law in most states to consummate the marriage. Why not strike down the antiquated sodomy laws first?


And errr....you sure she does not have a penis? Where is Crocodile Dundee when you need him?
 
Cheney Sees Gay Marriage as State Issue
  • ...my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People . . . ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to."

    Cheney went on to reiterate the position he first outlined in the 2000 campaign -- that same-sex marriage should be left to the states to decide. He noted, however, that Bush has endorsed a constitutional amendment preventing the states from recognizing such marriages.

    "At this point . . . my own preference is as I've stated," Cheney said. "But the president makes basic policy for the administration. And he's made it."

yes, she is working for her father's campaign, and a lot of gay activists think she's a traitor for it.


and i don't know that it is that they are so adamantly against gay marriage as that they are so adamantly against a tribunal of nine unelected countermajoritarian oligarchs determining the issue.

that's because the gay "activists" are actually marxist activists. gays right now have the same rights afforded by the constitution that anyone else has.

Gays right now cannot acquire the same rights afforded to a married couple. Therein lies the problem. It's arguable that they do not have the same constitutional rights since the litmus test of 'equal protection under the law' has not been tested yet at the USSC
 
newt gingrich also has a gay daughter.

so much for the arguement that gays are kids raised to accept homosexuality and thus are prone to conversion😛
 
Both the dems and the repubs in this election are actually opposed to gay marriage. However the dems believe that gays should be allowed civil union that would give them the same tax implications, hospital visitation rights, life insurance benefits, etc. that a heterosexual marriage would have. I think.
