Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Having a prominent public figure come out in support of LGBTQ rights is always a welcome sign of progress, all the more so when that prominent public figure is someone who formerly opposed LGBTQ equality.
43% : As some of her colleagues in Congress have pointed out, it was just a few months ago that Cheney voted against the Equality Act -- a landmark bill that would have expanded LGBTQ rights and protections against discrimination in housing, health care and education.
42% : Low-income LGBTQ folks and LGBTQ people of color, who often lack the resources and connections that keep more privileged queers like Mary Cheney safe, are most likely to be harmed by the clout of politicians who refuse to enact laws that would protect LGBTQ people from discrimination -- or actively support bills that prevent same-sex couples from adopting children or trans youths from getting necessary medical care and participating in school sports.
28% : In an interview with Lesley Stahl, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., acknowledged that she was wrong to oppose marriage equality back in 2013, a particularly striking stance given that her own sister is a happily married lesbian.
