Dick and wife Lynne Cheney garnered applause on the set of The View after the couple agreed gay marriage and gay rights should be allowed in America, the New York Daily News reports.
“I think freedom means freedom for everybody, and you ought to have the right to make whatever choice you want to make with respect to your own personal situation. I certainly don’t have a problem with it,” said Cheney, whose daughter Mary is a lesbian.
Cheney has previously confirmed the notion that every state should decide, even going as far as to say that people should be allowed to form any kind of union they wish.
Cheney’s daughter and her partner Heather have two children. “Whatever Mary and Heather decide to do is up to Mary and Heather,” said Lynne.
When asked about if the couple is not against gay marriage, Lynne responded, “That right,” garnering an audience applause.
