Though the Supreme Court settled this debate half a decade ago, Liz Cheney, a once fierce defender of “traditional marriage,” despite having a married lesbian sister, says same-sex couples deserve the same freedoms as everyone else.Speaking to 60 Minutes yesterday, Cheney said her past opposition to gay marriage was “wrong.”“I was wrong,” she conceded. “It’s a very personal issue, and very personal for my family.
I believe that my dad was right. And my sister and I have had that conversation.”“Freedom means freedom for everybody.”Cheney famously broke with her family on this issue during her failed run for Senate in 2013, during which she opposed marriage equality.
