Hillary Clinton has garnered one of her first major endorsements in run bid for the White House: The nation's largest lesbian political action committee. The group, LPAC, launched Lesbians4Hillary on Monday to support the former First Lady's bid to become the nation's first female president.
Lesbians4Hillary, co-chaired by pioneering tennis great Billie Jean King, said: 'Hillary Clinton is a proven leader and she has a strong track record when it comes to inclusion -- specifically for women and the LGBTQ community.
King, who was outed as a lesbian in 1981, was a leader of the group 'Women for Hillary' in 2008, as well.
In the video released yesterday announcing Clinton's candidacy for president, two gay couples were included. Among them, two lesbians who look lovingly into each other's eyes.
However, in her 2008 campaign, Clinton did not support gay marriage. It took her five years - to publicly say that she supported gay marriage.
The Economist called Clinton's stance on gay marriage, 'cautious to the point of cowardice.'
Critics also point out that as First Lady, she did not oppose her husband signing 'Don't Ask Don't Tell,' which banned being openly gay in the military or the Defense of Marriage Act, which banned gay marriage at the federal level.

I'd say she has a crack at it.
Unless Fauxahontas splits the vote...
They are professionals, just like Billie Jean King.
The tongue and groove union?
Ha, beat me by nearly a minute.

The tongue and groove union?
heh heh heh...and this early in the morning yet...
You said, it...not I!
Willie wanted to be the “first black president”. Hillary is trying to be the first lesbian president,
How appropriate. On lezbo has been supporting another.
*shrug* I’m board...
Keep it up, gals!
Get plenty of face time on the media endorsing PIAPS!
thank you for your support!
hehehehehehehehe
Outed? Maybe to the blind...
Careful, Hillary! Not sure that’s ‘halal’...
Maybe they can have a box lunch together.
The media do love their ‘reveals.’
Anyone who saw Robin Roberts, Rosie O’Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, Martina Navratilova, Jodie Foster, Jane Lynch, Melissa Etheridge, et al at any stage in their lives/careers could have known they were batting for the rainbow team.
For some reason, we supposed to pretend that we didn’t know, that the big reveal on a supermarket magazine is a surprise and that we are supposed to laud them for....what? If homosexuality is normal, natural, and unremarkable why we are we remarking on it?
we are we = are we
That's a darn good question...
No surprise there. They’re hoping Hillary will come out and then the world will know that the first white, lesbian grandmother is ready for her Presidential coronation.
Who ?
Hillary Flammond: Who do you favor in the Virginia Slims tournament?
Blindman: In women's tennis, I always root against the heterosexual.
