The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has announced that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will speak to the organization on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 3. Approximately 800 grassroots leaders from across the country – including the HRC Board of Directors, HRC Board of Governors, HRC staff, and volunteer leaders and supporters from the organization’s over 1.5 million members and supporters in all 50 states – will hear from Secretary Clinton ahead of the organization’s National Dinner.
“Secretary Clinton is a tremendous advocate for equality and has been a tireless champion for the advancement of LGBT rights as human rights around the globe,” said HRC President Chad Griffin. “A visionary leader fighting for an America where everyone is treated with equal respect and dignity, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, we’re thrilled Secretary Clinton will join us to discuss the challenges ahead in the fight for full federal equality.”
Secretary Clinton has a long history of supporting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans throughout her career. From her record on important legislation and key votes in the U.S. Senate, to her championing the rights of LGBT people abroad and making progress for State Department employees as Secretary, to her support for the Equality Act and other important LGBT issues during her current presidential campaign, she has demonstrated true leadership on LGBT equality.
HRC has not endorsed any candidate for the 2016 presidential election.
Is this for real? A visionary leader? Clinton has been flip-flopping for years now, it’s ridiculous to picture her as a LGBT warrior. There’s another guy in the Dem race whose record is so much more inspiring. Look him up.
