By Beth Stebner PUBLISHED: 11:26 EST, 18 April 2013 | UPDATED: 11:26 EST, 18 April 2013 Claim: Author Patti Davis, pictured last summer, has claimed that her mother, former first lady Nancy Reagan, supports gay marriage Though her late husband may have had an embattled view of same-sex marriage, Nancy Reagan fully supports it, her daughter has sensationally claimed. Patti Davis, the daughter of the former first lady, announced in a radio interview this week that her mother ‘does’ support it. Davis’ claim directly goes against an op-ed written by her half-brother, Michael Reagan, who claimed earlier this month that legalizing gay marriage would lead to ‘polygamy, bestiality, and perhaps even murder.’
