I don't know, I have been told Cheney isn't that popular, then again he is high profile enough. Expect him to get quite some heat for it in the primaries though.
Cheney is one of those guys whose pros and cons make him a target of both republicans and democrats. Republicans want his support because he's a knowledgeable man who aided bush. Democrats want him to support the republicans so that they can tie his horrible flaws to the people they're running against.

What? I thought she was already in favor. Weird.
I'm not. Think about it: first she was married to bill, then "fat-intern-gate" happened, then she tried her luck at being a politician, then she was "apparently" into dating women, and now she's openly supporting gay marriage. All this happening in just under a decade, mind you.

In other news: Hillary is just in time, support for gay marriage is at an all time high.

More good news for gay marriage (it's a really good day to be gay) A North Carolina church vows to end all heterosexual marriage ceremonies until homosexual marriage is legal

I feel like this year is gearing up to be a good one for equality. I'm really hoping the Supreme Court case goes well.
Sadly those things may be a bit more connected than any of us like, the Clintons are known for going whichever way the polls go, even polling as to where they should vacation while in office. I wish she had done this back in 2008 or even in 2006 when the polls were not leaning toward gay marriage. It would seem alot less of a political move, and more heartfelt.

I don't really care that it took his son being gay for him to change his stance. I'm just happy he was a decent enough person that loves his son enough to support him through this. The same couldn't be said for a lot of people who are against gays, so I give him props for this.

He's only pro-gay because his son happens to be gay. Does the end really justify the means? If so, we should find a way to convince all children of republicans to tell their parents that they are homosexual regardless of whether they really are or not.

In 2008 she backed civil unions, but she hadn't come out in favor of it since like Biden and Obama had. I'm guessing it's because she was Secretary of State, so her views on social policies would be pretty irrelevant.

I don't really care if he is pro gay or not, I was just commenting that I'm happy his son being gay didn't make him flip **** like it would for most people in the GoP. I'm happy that the situation turned out positive rather than negative.
We don't even need pro gay GoP members, there is no real debate anymore, they've lost and we'll continue to move forward. The most they can do now is stall the inevitable.

Is Portman coming out in favor of gay marriage now any different than Obama coming out in favor during the election?
