When the talking head pundits convinced many conservative voters that the Republican nomination process was over-before it actually was-many of them particularly in the state of Texas crossed over to vote for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the hopes of stopping the progress of a flaming liberal monstrosity by the name of Sen. Barack Obama.
While it is true that Clinton is not quite as out of touch with reality as Obama on some issues, it appears she is seeking to reestablish her place among liberals by reminding them of an area where there is essentially no difference between the two.
During a recent interview with Washington Blade-who has branded itself the "weekly news source for Washington’s large and visible Gay community"-she reiterated her unwaivering support and advancement of the homosexual agenda.
During the interview she talked of her continued fight against a federal marriage amendment protecting the sanctity of marriage and spoke of the provision of benefits to homosexual couples.
“I would like to see federal benefits extended to same-sex couples that meet certain standards of commitment regardless of the state in which they reside. Too many couples cannot share life decisions, or jointly own property or take care of one another within a recognized legal framework. I want to change that.”
She also stated that while it may be challenging she would continue to work with others to advance the Domestic Partnership Benefits & Obligations Act. Washington Blade offered the following explanation for the measure.
The act, introduced in the Senate in December by Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Gordon Smith (R-Ore.) would make the domestic partners of federal government employees eligible for federal health benefits, the Family & Medical Leave program, long-term care, insurance and retirement benefits. The bill, which has been around since the late 1990s, remains in committee; Clinton and Obama have signed on as co-sponsors.
It what appears to be an attempt to push the agenda further than Obama, Clinton went on to pledge that if she were to become president, she would be the first to march in a "Gay Pride" parade.
