Patti Davis, the daughter of President
Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan, has said that her mother backs gay
marriage.
Earlier this month, Davis said that she
believed her father would have endorsed marriage equality.
“Because he wanted government out of
people's lives, that he would not understand the intrusion of
government banning such a thing. This is not what he would have
thought government should be doing,” she said during an appearance
on Gwissues.

Reagan's daughter believes he'd have backed gay marriage.)
During an appearance on Sirius XM
Radio's The Michelangelo Signorile Show, Davis
told host Michelangelo Signorile that her mother supports marriage
equality.
“I'm hesitant to speak for anyone
else, and she's not comfortable going out in the public eye and
getting in the firing line of anything,” Davis said. “So, you
know, I want to be cautious about speaking on someone else's behalf.
But let me put it this way: I think if she had disagreed with what I
said publicly about my father she would have said something publicly.
Let's just put it that way. That’s the most sort of politically
correct way I can answer that question.”
