WASHINGTON, D.C., January 20, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) - The nation's foremost homosexual and transgender political group has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, saying she has made banning reparative therapy and allowing transgender military service "a pillar" of her presidential campaign.
“All the progress we have made as a nation on LGBT equality -- and all the progress we have yet to make -- is at stake in November," said Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin.
The HRC said that Clinton has made homosexual and transgender political advocacy "a pillar of her campaign and recently unveiled the most robust and ambitious LGBT plan any candidate for president has ever laid out."
Her campaign's platform "specifically calls for dropping the ban on open transgender military service [and] outlawing dangerous 'conversion therapy' for minors...among other proposals that would advance equality and support the LGBT community."
Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State also helped convince HRC to tap Hillary over Democratic rivals Bernie Sanders - who leads her by 27 percent in New Hampshire - and Martin O'Malley.
HRC referenced a December 2011 speech Clinton delivered to a United Nations forum in Geneva, in which Clinton said that "religious or cultural values" that reject homosexuality are “not unlike...honor killings, widow burning, or female genital mutilation.”
Earlier that year she boasted that the State Department had been "instrumental" in getting Lady Gaga to perform at a gay pride event in Rome.
Griffin said that LGBT activists' political gains are threatened by an "onslaught of state and local anti-LGBT measures," presumably like the referendum in Houston that repealed an unpopular transgender discrimination ordinance that would have allowed biological males to use the restrooms and shower facilities of the opposite sex. In November, citizens of the overwhelmingly Democratic city voted by a nearly two-to-one margin to strike the law.
Clinton will formally accept HRC's endorsement at a public event this weekend in Des Moines, Iowa.
Meanwhile, Sanders dismissed the endorsement, saying the HRC is part of "the political establishment" that he is challenging.
HRC, which has been a favored cause of George Soros' philanthropies, reported more than $40 million in gross receipts in 2014.
HRC has made 97 percent of its PAC contributions to Democrats, according to the campaign finance website Open Secrets.
Hillary wants to out-homosexual Obama.

She’s pandering to the homosexuals in an attempt to win the nomination. I don’t think that she actually cares about anyone except herself.
For more who are very unhappy about their SSA, suicide will be the answer.
Reparative? Reparative? Is this what they call the procedure for chopping off a peni$ now? Doesn’t sound much like repairing.
Depraved.
Not only not let parents seek treatment for their children with sexual mental and emotional disorders — she will oblige parents to induce sexual mental and emotional disorders in their children.
And such a law is a state concern.
Your child can probably have you arrested for saying anything anti-gay under Hillary.
That’s where all of this craziness comes from. The Democrats appease and appeal to any nut case extremist group as long as they get their votes, then they give them the control of the country.
Why would anyone listen to what Hillary has to say, she is a crook and under indictment for felonies....
She wants more members in the new government-certified specially privileged victim group. The more members, the move votes and contributions.
Pander, pander, pander.
So let me get this straight (pun intended). If you are a man and want to turn into a woman, its OK to go to therapy to work through your psychological issues to “make the transition.”
But if you are gay and want to be straight, or think you are just confused, its a horrible crime to go to therapy to work through your psychological issues?
On the contrary, I believe that in this context “reparative” means treating the mental illness that constitutes SSA.
Politics today have so much to do with the dysfunction in society. So much of it comes from the top down, bad laws and bad people in places of authority. We should have kicked out these degenerates from the time they began to show their ugly heads.
It really is insane.
Wow...hard to beat that great accomplishment. /s
Exactly right.
This is gay North Korea.
Reparative Therapy
That is counseling to become non-gay, or non-trans.
Can’t have any of that.
