Cheney Blasted by Her Sister on Same Sex Marriage

Mary Cheney and her wife, Heather Poe, sharply criticized a comment by Liz Cheney, a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Wyoming, that they disagreed on the issue of same-sex marriage, the New York Times reports.

Wrote Mary Cheney on her Facebook page: “Liz – this isn’t just an issue on which we disagree, you’re just wrong – and on the wrong side of history.”

Poe’s comments were more personal: “Liz has been a guest in our home, has spent time and shared holidays with our children, and when Mary and I got married in 2012 – she didn’t hesitate to tell us how happy she was for us. To have her say she doesn’t support our right to marry is offensive to say the least.”
