Dick Cheney's Lesbian Daughter Gets Married

When you think of a gay marriage, you probably imagine a lot of things. However, one thing we're almost certain you don't expect is for Dick Cheney to be in attendance as the father of the bride. Or, in this case, one of two brides. Yet just recently, he has been just that.

ABC News reports that Cheney's lesbian daughter, Mary, recently married her longtime partner Heather Poe in Washington, DC:

n a statement issue by Cheney and his wife, Lynne, said, ”Our daughter Mary and her long time partner, Heather Poe, were married today in Washington, DC. Mary and Heather have been in a committed relationship for many years, and we are delighted that they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to have that relationship recognized.”

The former vice president added, “Mary and Heather and their children are very important and much loved members of our family and we wish them every happiness.”

Mary Cheney, 43, has given birth to a son and a daughter.

Congratulations to the happy couple.
