Good on Sen. Clinton.
I’m all for more services and focus on LGBT youth in crisis, and I think it’s important that Clinton emphasizes that we must educate everyone on LGBT issues — after all, the hatred aimed at LGBT kids is coming from somewhere. Of course, I do wish that our federal government — and the people running for President — would take a stronger stance in favor of civil rights for all people, regardless of sexual orientation. Maybe if our government didn’t treat LGBT people like second-class citizens, it would be a lot easier to argue that individual bullies and bigots shouldn’t.

Thanks for posting this. I hadn’t come across it before. I’d love to see it compared to Barack’s position.

Hillary finally shows a spine on the LBGT issue!
Clinton isn’t too bad on gay and lesbian rights issues, but using the LGBT acronym is just plain incorrect. Clinton is manifestly the worst of the remaining Democrat candidates on trans issues – hell, she’s notorious for that quote along the lines of “those I trust in the gay community haven’t said anything about it” when being asked about her stance on trans stuff. Compared to the explicit promises of positive change from Obama and Edwards, she falls far, far short.
