Liz Cheney was among the 47 Republicans who voted with Democrats to codify same-sex marriage rights this week, but “The View” co-host Joy Behar is definitely skeptical of her motives. She believes Cheney only did so because someone in her family is directly impacted by the vote.
Cheney’s decision to vote in favor of the bill is notable, considering her past record on the issue, which drew notoriety for being the exact opposite of her parents and her sister, Mary Cheney, who is gay. For Behar, Mary was probably the deciding factor that swayed Liz’s stance.

Liz Cheney made headlines in September after she came out in support of gay marriage. It was only eight years prior that she publicly opposed gay marriage while running for a Senate seat in Wyoming. Liz’s sister, Mary Cheney, is gay, and Liz’s opposition to same-sex marriage resulted in a public falling out between the sisters. Liz told “60 Minutes” this year, “I was wrong. I was wrong. I love my sister very much. I love her family very much.” In a new interview with GQ magazine, filmmaker Adam McKay said he “likes to think” that his 2018 biographical drama “Vice” played a part in changing Liz Cheney’s perspective on gay marriage.
McKay’s “Vice” starred Lily Rabe as Liz Cheney and Alison Pill as Mary Cheney, plus Christian Bale and Amy Adams as the siblings’ parents Dick and Lynne Cheney. One of the final scenes in the...

This year’s crop of Oscar-nominated films mark the highest number ever to represent Lgbtq stories, according to media watchdog GLAAD.
Five of the eight best picture nominees are inclusive to queer communities, GLAAD found, including “A Star is Born,” “Green Book,” “The Favourite,,” “Vice” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
In Bradley Cooper’s “Star is Born,” gay icon Lady Gaga works drag bars in attempts at extending her faded dream of pop stardom, honored to be included among the “gay girls” performers; “Green Book” observes the intersectional black-queer identity of musician Don Shirley; “The Favourite” follows a rare and compelling female love-and-power triangle; “Bohemian Rhapsody” follows the life and career of queer rock icon Freddie Mercury; and Mary Cheney’s sexuality factors heavily in the human and political drama of “Vice.”

When it came to constructing a biopic about former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, “the lynchpin of the entire movie is Lynne Cheney” asserts Vice filmmaker Adam McKay.
“One of the tricks we ran up against in this film was according to the Syd Field-McKee kind of model of storytelling, Dick Cheney doesn’t have a first act. There’s no inciting incident that launches him,” explained the The Big Short Oscar winner at last Thursday’s Deadline screening for Vice at the Landmark in Los Angeles.
But after sending a reporter around the country to do research for the film, the takeaway from interviews in Casper Wyoming was that “whoever Lynne Vincent would have married, would become president or vice president,” McKay said. To date, Amy Adams, who plays Lynne Cheney, has received supporting actress nods from the Critics’ Choice, the Screen Actors Guild and the Golden Globes.

Bale brilliantly captures the former vice-president’s bland magnificence in Adam McKay’s entertainingly nihilist biopic
The former Us vice-president, big oil nabob and waterboarding enthusiast Dick Cheney squats like a latex, inflated toad at the ear of power in this flashy political comedy from Adam McKay. Or perhaps it’s truer to say that it’s at Cheney’s massive ear where notional power squats in the form of former president George W Bush. This is due to a terrifically and in fact rather scarily plausible impersonation from Christian Bale, whose head has been enlarged to the size of a pale-pink bespectacled beach ball atop a shapeless, conservatively suited fleshmound.
Vice is always entertaining and nihilist, especially when it comes to Cheney’s relationship with his beloved daughter Mary Cheney (Alison Pill), an out gay woman and same-sex marriage campaigner. Cheney’s final treatment of her in this movie...
