Just a day before The Republican National Convention, Cheney talked openly, and at length, on the issue of gay marriage. Significantly, he mentioned that one of his daughters, Mary, is openly gay.

"Freedom means freedom for everybody," he told the crowd in Davenport, Iowa. He noted that he still believes the issue is one of states' rights, but he supports Bush's call for a Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages across the nation.
