...But in this case, I would think that the issue of gay marriage is one of particular interest to the Cheney family.

Why?

Saying you would think something is not the same as presenting evidence that, for example, Cheney thinks it's fundamentally wrong to have a child out of wedlock. Maybe he believes that, maybe he has said so publicly, but you haven't shown anything to back it up.

...You want to tell gay folks that it's okay, maybe in an hundred years or so there may be enough states sanctioning gay marriage to constitute a majority?...

No, I've never said anything of the kind but neither has Dick Cheney. All you have done here, theHandpuppet, is toss out a bunch of unfounded inferences about what you think Dick Cheney's position on something (Having a child out of wedlock, gay marriage, being a homosexual; which is it?) ought to be, based on how you think he should be reacting to an event he has no real control over, i.e. his daughter's decision to have a child. All he has said about that is that he's looking forward to it.

All that said, I think Dick Cheney may be ambivalent about the whole thing. But he hasn't said much about it.

...That's very convenient for those who can afford to live above the law, but not for those of us now living with the consequences of those laws.

I don't think it's reasonable for everyone to pick up the banner for every issue just because there is an injustice that affects you.
