Back in the 1990s, then-President Bill Clinton instituted the don’t ask, don’t tell ban on gays in the military and signed the Defense of Marriage Act, both now in history’s dustbin. On Oct. 25, Clinton will headline the Human Rights Campaign’s huge annual shindig in Washington, expected to draw 3,000 monied guests, the group said Thursday.
The event is already sold out.
The Hill quotes an interview Clinton gave in 2009 in which he said he was wrong to sign DOMA: “I grew up in a different time. And I was hung up about the word. And I had all these gay friends. I had all these gay couple friends. And I was hung up about it. And I decided I was wrong.”

. . . and my pollster said it would be good politics to sign it.
That too, but also a politician.
ROFL. He left out the most important part:
"And I was running for re-election when I signed that bill into law in 1996. I knew a lot of American voters would hold it against me if I didn't stand up for the institution of marriage. Of course its easy to pretend I have principles, now that I'm not running for office!"
Given the time DOMA was a step forward for gays - being the absolutists that they are you cannot please them with that you must apologize and do what they say.
I have spoken to numerous people who think that we can give them the right to marriage and they be happy with that i.e. “They just want to get married. They don’t want to force the Church to marry them”. Like hell they don’t. As soon as they get the right of gay marriage entrenched they will come for the Church. The more radical of them really do see this as a way to take the church down. Nobody should be of any two minds about their intentions!
Bill Clinton, pro-sodomy.
He’s a serial rapist. And Hillary is communist loon
Rumor has it that Hillary hunts the same bushes as Slick Willy.
MORE than that. He’s a total disgrace to the country!!!
