Hillary Clinton teaches gay rights for dummies

“A few years ago, Bill and I celebrated as our own daughter married the love of her life, and I wish every parent that same joy,” Hillary Clinton says in a new video for the Human Rights Campaign. “To deny that opportunity to any of our daughters and sons solely on the basis of who they are and who they love is to deny them the chance to live up to their own God-given potential.”

At 0:40, Hillary talks about meeting a Tunisian man with an interesting question.

At 1:04, she talks about some people who don’t share her opinion on gay rights and human rights.

At 2:23, she describes the people we are all fighting for.

At 2:58, she admits how her opinions have changed and evolved.

At 3:32, she drops some serious knowledge about the evolution of America.

At 4:35, she asks that the gay-rights debate be done in a certain way.

At 5:02, she compares this fight to the gender-equality fight.
