I think everything that Hillary Clinton says about anything is simply to get votes. She will keep her promises to the gay community just as good as her husband did.

debateman, it is my belief that there's only one candidate out there who truly supports the GLBT community. That candidate would be Dennis Kucinich, not Hillary. Hillary supports civil unions for gay and lesbian couples but not full marriage rights. There is a huge difference, protection-wise, between civil union and civil marriage. Here are a link that details all the differences: www.glad.org/rights/Marriage_v_CU_chart.pdfIn my opinion, Hillary is pandering to the right by endorsing civil unions rather than marriage equality. After all, we already tried the "separate but equal" thing a few decades ago. As I recall, it didn't go over all that well. |

That is correct. Kucinich IS the only one, sad but true.

I just checked - you were right, debateman.  Two candidates support marriage equality: Kucinich and Gravel. |

Hillary pandering to the Right is useless, be sure of that.
