From 2012-Tulsi Gabbard: The Curiously Conservative and Nepotistic Network of a Democratic Candidate
Tulsi Gabbard is a candidate for the HI-02 House seat vacated by Congresswoman Hirono to run for Senate. She has previously served in the military, in the Honolulu City Council, and in the Hawaii House of Representatives--her campaign materials seem to emphasize her military service. But behind this impressive political C.V.--like so many--is the product of a political dynasty. Tulsi is the daughter of Mike Gabbard, a Hawaii state Senator, former Republican, and anti-gay activist. Certainly, no one should be assumed to share the political views of their parents. But Tulsi Gabbard's political connections to her father go far beyond the family relationship. Despite her recent claims to socially-progressive views, the identities of her staffers and donors make much more sense as the products of a conservative family network than as the products of conventional ideological organizations.

Tulsi Gabbard: Supports President’s Position on Gay Rights
Tulsi Gabbard today released a statement in response to President Barack Obama’s announcement in support of marriage equality for all Americans:
I congratulate the President for taking a strong stand on marriage equality for all Americans, regardless of sexual orientation. I understand his journey, and stand with him on this issue. This is why in Congress I will work for the repeal of DOMA and support and co-sponsor the Respect for Marriage Act.
During my deployment to the Middle East with the Hawai’i National Guard in 2004 I realized that I could not, in good conscience, fight for liberty and freedom overseas while advocating something less than that here at home. That was an important decision for me and, in that context, I fully recognize the significance of the president’s announcement today.
Protecting the civil rights of all Americans is an obligation we must strive to fulfill. It’s critical that we support President Obama and stand with him now more than ever so our progress on these issues cannot be overturned by extremist Republican presidents and Members of Congress.
My position remains firmly that same-sex couples should be afforded all benefits, privileges, and rights that the government grants to heterosexual couples.

Seems she was ahead of the curve on LGBT marriage rights unlike Clinton who was a still a bigot until 2013.

She couldn't have been both for it in 2000 to 2006 and also have been completely against as she stated in 2004 and again in 2008 as evidenced in both of these videos.
Nice try at the spin.
And as usual, a Clinton supporter denied them and deflected.
Those two YoutTube videos were recordings of her speech form 2004 and her discussion with Chris Matthews during the 2008 campaign.
That they are from YouTube in no way invalidates the facts presented.
Try again and this time, let's see if you can give a more reasoned reply. 
until it did.
The smear campaign started quickly. It's like they were prepared.
