Clinton promotes gay rights as a main pillar of 2016 bid
Associated Press ^ | Oct 3, 2015 4:44 PM EDT | Lisa Lerer

Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday delivered the strongest speech in support of gay rights in the 2016 presidential race on Saturday, promising that ending discrimination against gay, lesbian and transgender people would be a central pillar of her administration.

“I see the injustices and the dangers that you and your families still face,” she told hundreds of gay activists at the annual meeting of the Human Rights Campaign. “I’m running for president to stand up for the fundamental rights of LGBT Americans.”

She added: “That’s a promise from one HRC to another.”

The statement marked a remarkable evolution for Clinton, who opposed same-sex marriage for more than two decades in public life as first lady, senator and presidential candidate. As recently as this year, Clinton said that while she personally supported gay marriage, the issue was best left for states to decide—a position held by most of the Republican presidential field. …

I’ve often said if an alien landed on earth and started watching television, he’d conclude the US is 40% black and 30% gay.

Polls indicate that most people in America think that percentage of gays is in the range of 25 to 30%. (It is more in the range of 1.5 to 4%)

“So she’s all in liberal on homosexual rights . who would have guessed”.

Not really. What she is is a political hypocrite that goes along with the crowd. Read the links below. By the way a 60 year old woman does not change her mind on marriage. Democrats have no morals, have no courage. If Barry Bathhouse came out today and said he had once again thought it over and reverts back to his position for the first 46 years of his life that was marriage a man and woman, Hillary Clinton would also play follow the leader and so would 100% of the immoral, spineless hypocrites that make up the democrat party in Washington DC.

Back 2004 she argued for the “sanctity of marriage” and stated she was committed to “the fundamental bedrock principle that exists between a man and a woman.”

Here’s how Slick Willie characterized her REAL thoughts about homosexuals.

http://freebeacon.com/politics/bill-clinton-warned-about-hillarys-discomfort-with-gay-rights-during-2000-senate-race/

According to a June 10, 1999, recording, Branch had been interviewing Bill Clinton at the White House when the president stepped out to take a phone call from Hillary. When Bill returned, he seemed preoccupied by his wife’s positions on gay rights.

“[Bill] came in and he said, ‘You know I’ve had much more contact in my life with gay people than Hillary has,’” Branch recounted at the time. “He said, ‘I think she’s really a little put off by some of this stuff.’”

I thought the emails on her server indicated she didn’t like the substitution for husband/wife (or father/mother) on some official documents; this is damage control for the primaries (since that tiny mentally ill minority holds so much sway - and money - on the far left).

What the hell is Hillary talking about?

Christians were executed the other day BECAUSE liberal elites have created an atmosphere of hatred toward Christians.

I am a little at a loss. What further ‘rights’ are they expecting. They can even marry. Something so absurd that people never thought of it in the 5,000 years of known history.

Actually, in Caligula’s day and the Weimar Republic it was in vogue to do the most vulgar sexual acts on stage and display the most vulgar acts to little children in public. (So the behaviors would be normalized—like they are in the muslim cultures today—where pederasty is normal and “good”.)

Much like the little harem boys of Afghanistan who are made to dress like women and dance and perform sexually for the adult males.

Hitlery is forcing filthy pagan/muslim ethics on a Christian Nation-—which took thousands of years to end the pederasty which is always a normal part of such learned, vile, degrading behaviors.

All behavior is learned and habituated and sodomizing others is learned by child abuse and neglect. They are learning to hate the opposite sex and lust after “the Same” which is a fixation in Latency-—a puerile, immature stage which destroys a culture-—reduces cultures to an evil, vile, dehumanizing place of hate-—like muslim cultures which are all homosexual and sexist culture.

“Does anyone know the per percentage of the LGBT in this Country?”

Minuscule.

But the percentage of Americans who agree with the gay agenda is somewhere around 70% - that’s the number Hillary is chasing. She wouldn’t bother pandering to them otherwise.

Well OK that's the Democratic Party line now, right? Would Bernie or any other possible Democrat candidate say otherwise?

The question is whether that's a winning strategy.

Which is why no conservative, and certainly no Christian, should have the kiddies in government indoctrination centers known as public schools. The push for universal preschool is the leftists’ dream of pushing all women into the work force (no stay at home moms) and to have all children in government propaganda mills at the earliest age. Your tax dollars being used against you.

They have the right to repent.

1.5 t 4, yes. But the enablers are well over 50 percent, particularly among the young and the northerners.

I know, but the American people just don’t see the truth.
