Exactly. Chitown Kev Sep 2015 #53

many of my older gay friends really adore her m-lekktor Sep 2015 #10

Has she "evolved" in very recent years, or is this just more political expediency? DisgustipatedinCA Sep 2015 #5

It's impossible for her not to have evolved Prism Sep 2015 #8

what's the marketing part ? JI7 Sep 2015 #11

That's an interesting take that for some reason hadn't crossed my mind - that she is more open to Ed Suspicious Sep 2015 #26

I think she's trying to co-opt Obama's "blank screen" tactic Prism Sep 2015 #42

Grindr users back Bernie Sanders for president 'LGBTQ voters reject simplistic "identity politics" Catherina Sep 2015 #29

Hardly a scientific poll. Plus it's insulting to assume Grindr users represent the LGBTQ community, Metric System Sep 2015 #30

I would haggle over the term "leading voice" Prism Sep 2015 #44

I would not dismiss one word you wrote here. nt. NCTraveler Sep 2015 #45

I'm of the same mind as you Prism Sep 2015 #50

Look closely at Clinton's face as she says New York should not recognize gay marriage. Zorra Sep 2015 #55
