Dick Stands Up For Gay Marriage

In a sharp contrast to President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney responded to questions about gay marriage on the campaign trail reinforcing his earlier stance that "freedom for all means freedom for all" and that he is at odds with his boss over how to handle the issue. Cheney, whose oldest daughter is a lesbian, said,"people ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to." Bush wants a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, Cheney believes it is a state's rights issue separate from federal jurisdiction. But Cheney deferred to Bush's right to determine White House policy and expects to uphold the President's agenda to move toward a federal ban on same sex marriage.
