No problem, that is what it is.

Check this out from the article in Newsweak:

In her personal life, accepting gays has always seemed to come easy to Clinton. As First Lady, she encouraged gay White House staffers to serve openly. Shortly after being offered a job as Clinton's press secretary, Neel Lattimore approached her in the Map Room. "I want you to know that I'm gay," Lattimore told her. "I don't want you and the president to get attacked because of me." Clinton told him not to worry; she and Bill could handle it. From then on, Clinton took the same active interest in Lattimore's love life as she did with female staffers. "She would always tell me, 'So-and-so is coming to dinner tonight—I don't think he has a partner'," he says.

Outside the White House, Clinton has had a harder time proving her gay bona fides. She disappointed many gay activists when she kept a low profile as the Federal Marriage Amendment, which she voted against, was being debated on the Senate floor in 2004. "Some of us held her to a higher standard," says Alan Van Capelle, executive director of the Empire State Pride Agenda, a gay group in New York state. "We expected that if you're the senator from New York, it's not acceptable to talk about LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] issues only in front of LGBT people."

Make no mistake. That is a thinly veiled threat by the author.

TRANSLATION: "If Hillary does not cow-tow to the homosexuals enough, we will 'out' her and threaten to publish embarrassing details like she will not believe."
