In case you were wondering why former Vice President Dick Cheney remained silent on marriage equality (which he came out in support of in 2009) during a time when the LGBT community needed his support most, you've now got your answer: votes. 

Reports the Sacramento Bee:

Dick Cheney says he didn't see the point of raising the issue of gay marriage in the 2000 presidential campaign, even though he supported it.

The former vice president suggested it wouldn't have done much good and probably would have sunk President George W. Bush's prospects for office. "Why?" he responded to ABC News when asked in a televised interview whether he should have pushed harder for gay couples to marry.

Feels better to know we got thrown under the bus to get Dubya in office, right?
