Family Feud: Liz Cheney and Mary Cheney Battle Over Gay Marriage
Liz Cheney’s declaration against gay marriage yesterday on Fox truly hurt her sister, Mary Cheney, and understandably so.
Liz, one of former Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughters (pictured far left), said gay marriage is an area where she and Mary, her openly gay sister and also Dick Cheney’s daughter, “disagree.”
Mary Cheney, who married her wife, Heather Poe, in June 2012, responded on Facebook: “Liz—this isn’t just an issue on which we disagree you’re just wrong—and on the wrong side of history.”
Her wife, Heather Poe, chimed in, too: “I can’t aid but wonder how Liz would feel if as she moved from state to state, she discovered that her family was protected in one but not the other,” Ms. Poe wrote on her Facebook page.
“Yes, Liz,” she added, “in fifteen states and the District of Columbia you are my sister-in-law.”

Mary Cheney, daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, and her partner, Heather Poe, are expecting a baby. “A source close to the couple” says that Cheney is pregnant and expecting in the spring.

So Mary and Heather will be twisting in the legal wind, thanks to her party’s repeated hostility toward gays and lesbians. . . .

Mary Cheney’s Class Privilege
There’s always been two standards of behavior in America: One for the loaded, the other for the lie down of us. When abortion was illegal, the daughters, wives and girlfriends of rich men could travel over any border to deal with an unwanted pregnancy. Conservative members of Congress contain always disregarded the laws against prostitution and legal age of consent to personally indulge in all sorts of sexual shenanigans, even as they ranted and raved about immorality in America, often turning the halls of our legislatures into bully pulpits.
This hypocrisy has a solid basis in American politics: The founding fathers, while pushing the all-so-noble idea that “all men are created equal” had slaves who sometimes bore them illegitimate children. Their wives and daughters couldn’t vote.
Now, along comes Mary Cheney, daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, who announces that she is carrying a baby that she’ll raise with her lesbian lover of 15 years, Heather Poe. No word on whether she went the anonymous turkey baster or the best-gay-male-friend-as-sperm-do
Dick Cheney Defends Daughter Liz in Gay Marriage Family Feud
Former Vice President Dick Cheney waded into a spat between his daughters, Liz Cheney and Mary Cheney, who is openly gay, saying that Liz's kindness to her sister shouldn't be used to "distort" her position supporting "traditional marriage."
One day after the two sisters appeared to hold their disagreement public, Cheney and his wife, Lynne, issued a statement defending their daughter Liz, who is running for Senate in Wyoming.
"Liz has always believed in the traditional definition of marriage," the Cheneys said in a statement today. "She has also always treated her sister and her sister's family with love and respect, exactly as she should have done.
"Compassion is called for, even when there is disagreement about such a fundamental matter and Liz's many kindnesses shouldn't be used to distort her position," they added.
The statement made no mention of Mary Cheney, 44, or her wife, Heather Poe.
