Hillary Clinton Gay Marriage Video

by Annie Scudder 1

Hillary Clinton has come out in support of gay marriage today, in a video released on behalf of the Human Rights Campaign, a gay-rights group. The former secretary of state is following up on her noteworthy 2011 speech on gay rights to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, and this time she went a step further, calling for marriage equality. In the six-minute video, Hillary says her time as secretary of state made her challenge her previous views. She continues, "LGBT Americans are our colleagues, our teachers, our soldiers, our friends, our loved ones. And they are full and equal citizens and deserve the rights of citizenship. That includes marriage." Hillary explains she supports gay marriage "personally, and as matter of policy and law." This campaign-style video hints that Hillary isn't going away anytime soon. Is it 2016 yet?
