Chelsea Clinton stepped to the podium at the Bally’s Events Center to the tune of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ hit rap song “Same Love.”
The rap song about equal rights for lesbians and gays set the stage for the message she delivered Sunday to the youth service professionals at the inaugural Time to Thrive national conference addressing safety, inclusion and well-being for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth. The conference was put on by the Human Rights Campaign, a civil rights organization fighting for equality for the LGBT community.
“We should not mistake progress for success,” Clinton said, “because we have a lot more work to do.”
... “It’s my hope that if we all continue to work together,” Clinton said, "in the not-too-distant future, every child — whether LGBTQ or straight — can go to sleep every night knowing they are safe and secure, and dream about who they want to be, where they want to live and who they want to love without those dreams being shadowed.”
