Hillary Clinton on Gay Rights...


All hail Hillary...

"Let me say today that human rights are gay rights
and gay rights are human rights,
once and for all."

Good for Hillary! She would have had the same difficulties as Obama has had, if she was president. In that position there are way too many 'other' factors that we don't either appreciate or understand. Gay rights is but one very small consideration to the US government. It will come but not for a while yet.
So glad I live in Canada......I wouldn't have the patience.

Go Hilary. I think that a recognition that we are talking human rights is what is needed. For many once you start talking about groups it's very easy for a 'them' and 'us' situation to arise. It's easy to dismiss or marginalize the rights of other human beings if we can view them as "the other", what ever that other may be. Here's hoping there'll come a time when we can view each other as equally deserving of compassion and respect. Will hop off my Pollyanna soap box now.

That was great. I used to not like Hillary, for it seemed she never was willing to risk her popularity for the sake of a principle. Time to revisit my opinion.

Thanks, Rick

Think she'd let me borrow her?

I've never cared for Hillary at all. But in this instance she gets a gold star.

Thank you for sharing this with us! Funnily I've heard more about the season premiere of Jersey Shore than this statement this week. Hm, now what does that say about the state of the world in general?

Hillary for President! Hillary for President! Hillary was clearly the correct choice for the US Democratic Party. Too bad they chose otherwise.

Too bad her husband wasn't so enlightened when he past the bullshit "Defense of Marriage Act." I've always thought Hillary would have made a much better president than Bill.
