After Infamous Rift with Gay Sister, Liz Cheney Now Admits 'I Was Wrong' to Oppose Same-Sex Marriage
Mary Cheney, Liz's younger sister, reacted on social media: "I love my sister very much and am so proud of her ... We could certainly use a lot more leaders like Liz Cheney right now"
Rep. Liz Cheney says she has had a change of heart about her stance on same-sex marriage after her previous opposition on the matter caused an ugly public rift in her family — especially with younger sister Mary Cheney, who is gay and married.
In a sit-down with CBS's 60 Minutes that aired Sunday, the Republican daughter of former Vice President **** Cheney admitted to correspondent Lesley Stahl that she was "wrong" to oppose gay marriage in the past.
"I love my sister very much. I love her family very much. And I was wrong," said Liz, 55. "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."
