And because she wasn't progressive at all on gay rights. Neither was Obama though, it took a lot of time for politicians to wake up. - Krusty Mar 3, 06:56 10
- I don't for a minute think it was 'coming around'. I think Obama and Clinton were already there but could not say it - ty97 Mar 3, 07:00 1
  - Hillary was well behind the others and there was no reason she couldn't come out in favor of gay marriage before 2013. -- nm - Krusty Mar 3, 07:07

    - Yes, but he was a Senator representing a very liberal state so he could "get away" with doing those things. - ty97 Mar 3, 07:07 2
      - When she was a senator representing a liberal state she could have done more. - Krusty Mar 3, 07:10 1
        
        As a Senator with national aspirations, no she couldn't. That's just plain logic -- nm* - ty97 Mar 3, 07:11
    - He did. He was promoting gay rights in 1983 signing a Gay Pride Day proclamation. It did take him a while to get to marriage equality but - Krusty Mar 3, 07:06
- if by full steam you mean Liberals, cause it certainly isn't for everyone -- nm - Beaker Mar 3, 06:57
