I was watching my sister-in-law on Fox News Sunday (yes Liz, in fifteen states and the District of Columbia you are my sister-in-law) and was very disappointed to hear her say "I do believe in the traditional definition of marriage."

Liz has been a guest in our home, has spent time and shared holidays with our children, and when Mary and I got married in 2012 - she didn't hesitate to tell us how happy she was for us.

To have her now say she doesn't support our right to marry is offensive to say the least

I can't help but wonder how Liz would feel if as she moved from state to state, she discovered that her family was protected in one but not the other.

I always thought freedom meant freedom for EVERYONE.

It's a tough position for all parties, just keep loving her until she can wrap her brain around what her heart knows to be true. God bless you all..

Thanks for sharing this, Heather. I am sorry and know this hurts. The only ones in a tough position are many loving couples and families who are not accepted by others and it hurts the most when it's family.

Sorry Heather. Liz is on the wrong side of history.
