Yahoo News - Cheney Says Does Not Back Federal Gay Marriage Ban
DAVENPORT, Iowa (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney said on Tuesday that he does not personally support a constitutional amendment against gay marriage but accepts President Bush's decision to pursue such a ban as administration policy.

"My general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want," Cheney, 63, said in response to a question at a campaign "town hall" meeting in Davenport, Iowa.

One has to wonder if this is a ploy to appeal to moderates...but Dick had basically said this all along.
