Hillary's Speech to Gay Rights Group, Calls Marriage Amendment 'Mean Spirited' View All Hillary Watch Posts

Her staff kept this campaign stop off her public schedule, but YouTube turned up her remarks to the pro-gay Human Rights Campaign:



Of the Federal Marriage Amendment she said, "This amendment was wedge politics at it's worst. It was mean-spirited, it was against the entire forward movement of American history. It was the first time anyone was proposing we amend the Constitution to deny citizens rights rather than widen the circle of rights and opportunities."

"In the end, we stopped the Federal Marriage Amendment and we sent a strong message that we will not stand idly by when anyone tries to write discrimination into our Constitution."

She assured the pro-gay group, "I want you to know this is exactly the kind of partnership we will have when I am President."

She promised, "We're going to reach out and work with our allies in Congress both to change laws and change hearts. We want to make sure that all Americans in committed relationships have equal benefits from health insurance and life insurance and Social Security and property rights and more."

"These are fundamental rights," she said.

Then, Hillary vowed to promote the most radical component of the gay agenda.

"I have long supported civil unions," she said. "We're going to make sure that nothing stands in the way of loving couples, gay or straight, to adopt children."

Hillary also said as President she would end the military's policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

At the end of her speech, Hillary joked to members of the Human Rights Campaign, or HRC that "We can accomplish these goals because we have the same determination, the same can-do attitude and the same initials."

Ben Smith, of The Politico said that the Human Rights Campaign refused to respond to his calls and emails about the address.
