Worse, it looks like the position she’s ruining her relationship with her sister over isn’t really one she holds, making her not just heartless but a hypocrite\u2014which doesn’t play well just about anywhere.”Mary Cheney, 44, said in a phone interview with The New York Times on Sunday that “she presumed her sister shared her father\u2019s views on marriage, and that view was reinforced because Liz Cheney ‘was always very supportive’ of her relationship with Ms. Poe and the couple\u2019s two children. “She learned otherwise in August when Liz Cheney declared, shortly after announcing her Senate candidacy, that she was opposed to same-sex marriage rights. Mary Cheney said it is now ‘impossible’ for the sisters to reconcile as long as Liz Cheney maintains that position.”RELATED ARTICLES\u2022 Mary Cheney Weds Longtime Partner\u2022 Planning a Wedding With Homophobia in the Family\u2022 Should Unsupportive Relatives Be Invited To My Daughter’s Lesbian Wedding?Photo via Queerty.com "},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Family Feud: Liz Cheney and Mary Cheney Battle Over Gay Marriage","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/family-feud-liz-cheney-and-mary-cheney-battle-over-gay-marriage\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
