Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that she supports
same-sex marriage, saying gays and lesbians are "full and equal citizens and
deserve the rights of citizenship."
"That includes marriage," Clinton says in an online video released Monday by
the gay rights advocacy group Human Rights Campaign. Clinton adds that she
backs gay marriage both "personally and as a matter of policy and law."
It's a move that The Associated Press says "is certain to further fuel the
already rampant speculation that she is considering another run for
president in 2016."
As NPR's Ken Rudin points out, it's been less than a year since the Obama
administration switched its position and endorsed same-sex marriage. As
secretary of state, Clinton hasn't had much opportunity to comment on
domestic issues until she left her post last month.
She may also be interested in clearing the air from her time as first lady.
After all, President Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act into
law in 1996, and the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell," the unpopular and
since-repealed compromise on gays in the military, also came about on her
husband's watch.
The AP notes that:
Despite holding back in supporting same-sex marriage, Hillary Clinton was a
strong supporter of gay rights, both in the U.S. and abroad, during her
tenure at the State Department. Under her watch, the U.S. government made it
official policy to promote gay rights around the world. |

不过老太太说什么美国是灯塔我不太同意，
在人权这个议题上，美国影响力大，但是鲜少引领全球。
毕竟是个保守的资本主义国家。

发帖数: 24887 | 6 It is a cliche for Americans to call their country "the beacon of the free
world". In fact, I suspect that as far as LGBT issues are concerned, the U.S
. is nearly backwards when compared with many other industrialized countries
. There are simply too many people whose minds are basically not much better
than nuts.
