“As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish. The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute to protect this, I don’t support. I do believe that the historically the way marriage has been regulated is at the state level. It has always been a state issue and I think that is the way it ought to be handled, on a state-by-state basis … But I don’t have any problem with that. People ought to get a shot at that”<\/p>\n

— Dick Cheney, reiterating his opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act<\/a><\/p>\n

“I do not support gay marriage. Marriage has religious and social connotations, and I consider marriage to be between a man and a woman… I do believe that tradition and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman.”<\/p>\n

— Barack Obama explains his opposition to gay marriage<\/a><\/p>\n

Yup, you read that right. Dick Cheney supports gay marriage more than Barack Obama does.<\/p>\n
