Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said she would defend gay rights as president and eliminate disparities for same-sex couples in federal law, including immigration and tax policy.
Clinton said states such as New Jersey and Massachusetts are extending rights to gay couples "and the federal government should recognize that and should extend the same access to federal benefits across the board. I will very much work to achieve that."
Clinton's comments came in an interview with the Philadelphia Gay News that was posted on its Web site Thursday.
Clinton said she and her husband have many gay friends that they socialize with when they get the chance. "I've got friends, literally, around the country that I'm close to. It's part of my life," she said.
She said that when they ask her why they can't get married, she tells them marriage is a state law. She said that fact helped defeat a constitutional amendment to prohibit same-sex weddings that she said would "enshrine discrimination in the Constitution."
"States are really beginning seriously to deal with the whole range of options, including marriage, both under their own state constitutions and under the legislative approach," she said. "I anticipate that there will be a very concerted amount of effort in the next couple of years that will move this important issue forward and different states will take different approaches as they did with marriage over many years and you will see an evolution over time."
Clinton said she opposes a measure that would ban gay marriage in Pennsylvania.

Someone needs to tell Hitlery that she was born a female, and that no matter how hard she tries, she will never grow testicles. Neither will Bill. Which means that Chelsea was “conceived” by artificial insemination...and who knows what “her” gender is....

Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the gospel is not about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been slaves to such relationships but had been cleansed in Jesus' name. So these former homosexual had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.

Operation Chaos, now Hillary moves farther left and announces it. Vote for Hillary between now and April 22nd if you live in Pennsylvania.
ALL RIGHT!! You made the adjustment and put Huma in the sack with her! GREAT job! I know it’s work.
A bigger part than many realize.
Just what America needs: a lesbian president. Or, an ex-muslim. Or, we can have a RINO.
Amen. The lesbians may be the only demographic group in the country to which she doesn't have to lie.
Ping!
Please see me post # 49.
The really crazy thing is that the revolutionary, unheard of idea of creating "gay marriage" is being treated by the media as if it were the status quo and that its opponents are dangerous radicals who are advocating something blatantly unheard of.
I've read comments on the Net about Republicans wanting to "outlaw" gay marriage--as if you can outlaw something that's never existed!!!
You hit it right on the head. Leave it to the MSM to to brainwash the unsuspecting masses and turn history and logic on its head.

You got that right.
And I can see, if dhimmirats get the Presidency, the House & Senate,
you can be guaranteed they’ll figure out a way to make it impossible for parents NOT to send their kids for gay indoctrination training.
