38. My answer:
I don't believe either candidate has said they will support what I consider full equality. And HRC givs them an identical score.

I have, however, heard Clinton say that she supports the state's right to make marriage decisions and if states decided same sex marriage that's fine with her. And I have heard Obama say he does not agree with same sex marriage on reigious grounds.

As a practical matter, that may put them on, again, identical footing.

But I very much dislike and mistrust Obama's kowtowing to religious bigots, and his religious justifications to policy matters. I trust him less on LGBT matters, because regardless of what a candidate says they'll do the degree to which they will uphold it has to depend on where it is in their heart.
