Early Show anchor Harry Smith brought up the marriage of openly gay Californian screen actor George Takei to his longtime partner Greg Altman over the weekend and asked for input from Lynne Cheney, wife of the Vice President and mother to partnered lesbian Mary.

"I would wish my daughter to have happiness and freedom to make her own choices," she said. "The Vice President said in the debate with Joe Lieberman ever so long ago in 2000 that freedom in this country ought to mean freedom for everyone."

Contacted by PageOneQ, Mrs. Cheney's office stated that no one was available to comment on whether she specifically supported her daughter's right to marry.
