In a forceful speech on Saturday to an influential gay rights group, Hillary Rodham Clinton reaffirmed her support for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans.
Hours later, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who is contemplating his own presidential run, stood before the same organization and praised Americans who have fought for gay rights.
Love is not a political matter; its a basic human right, Mr. Biden said to a gathering of members of the Human Rights Campaign on Saturday night. The fact that we recognize that, its because of you.
Mr. Bidens potential candidacy has loomed over Mrs. Clintons campaign, and the speeches on Saturday presented a rare occasion for these two former Senate colleagues and potential rivals to showcase their zeal and style on gay rights, one of the most galvanizing issues for Democratic primary voters and donors.
In her address, Mrs. Clinton focused on policies she would enact with a promise to make lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues central to her presidency. Mr. Biden said government had not been the driver of the rapid change in gay rights, and gave credit to the people in the crowd and the Americans across the country who came out about their sexuality.

Because freaks of ANY gender should be able to share your child’s bathroom/shower.
Typical... the country and world around us are in a state of rapid decline, the barbarians are storming the gates, and these two cretins focus on crap like this.
I am more concerned about my trip to the grocery store yesterday and what looks like food prices rising....AGAIN.
But, I guess, I am one of the few suckers actually buying my own food.
It's part of the program to destroy the social fabric of the country and to completely demoralize those of us who oppose the destruction. To make us compliant little peasants.
Why? Why is it so important to so many Democrats?
Hitler-y can just go pound sand!
I’ve suffered these Clintons for 20 years now. Enough!!
Point out to gay marriage/gay rights advocates you encounter that marriage license/certificates contain no memtion of the word ‘love’ and watch their eyes roll around.
The state doesn’t care. As usual, it wants your money and little more.
Gays’ asssumption that officialdom’s recgnition of their ‘marriage’ equates to widespread societal acceptance, even celebration, is as pathetic as it is unrealistic.
