I'm surprised you would put up such an "article" and declare that suddenly Hillary Clinton is the champion of gay rights. Even in 2011 she was complaining about her staff issuing passports that were inclusive.

Dishonesty, spin and mind-boggling justification is really not my thing.

It shocks the hell out of me every time I encounter falsehoods that would cause Pinocchio to fall over due to the weight of his nose growing.

That unsourced "quote" is your proof? Maybe that's good enough for you but you'll have to do better. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #50

That's rich coming from you after you accused me of saying "he supported it since 1975 or 1976" beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #53

Here is you doing exactly and precisely what I said you did dsc Oct 2015 #56

Where did I say he supported marriage equality since the 1970s? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #58
