Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Cheney Sisters Spar over Same-Sex Marriage

HeadlineNov 19, 2013

A public feud has erupted between the two daughters of former Vice President Dick Cheney over same-sex marriage. Mary Cheney, who is lesbian and married, has criticized her sister Liz Cheney for opposing the rights of same-sex couples to wed. Liz Cheney is currently seeking a Senate seat in Wyoming. Appearing on Fox News Sunday, she said she believes in the “traditional definition” of marriage and said states should be left to decide whether to recognize same-sex couples. Mary Cheney responded: “You’re just wrong — and on the wrong side of history.”
