http://correctrecord.org/hillary-clinton-expanding-lgbt-rights-at-state/---------------------
Great list of how Sec of State Hillary Clinton's power & position changed LGBT rights at the State level, giving Pres Obama the opening to implement further changes.
Hillary has been not simply talking the talk, but has walked the walk on LGBT policy changes.
A detailed reference dating back to 2009, here are some highlights:
Secretary Clinton transformed the State Dept. by expanding LGBT rights and promoting equality for employees. WhileSec. Clinton was telling the world that gay rights were human rights, her message of LGBT equality started at home at the State Department. She strived to ensure the State Department was an LGBT-friendly place to work, extending several benefits to Foreign Service employees which served as a model for other agencies. Building on Sec. Clinton’sefforts, President Obama expanded ..snip
IMPLEMENTED POLICIES TO MAKE THE STATE DEPARTMENT AN LGBT-FRIENDLY WORKFORCE
Sec. Clinton directed the State Department’s equal employment opportunity policy to “explicitly protect against discriminatory treatment of employees and job applicants based on gender identity.” ...snip
WORKED WITH LGBT ORGANIZATIONS TO STRENGTHEN POLICIES
Sec. Clinton recommended Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies (GLIFAA) for an award, applauding its “17 years of promoting equality in the federal workplace.” According to a USAID press release, “GLIFAA membership consists of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT), and straight employees of U.S. federal agencies including USAID and the Department of State. As part of this award process, GLIFAA received letters of recommendation from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Representative Tammy Baldwin, and the Human Rights Campaign. Secretary Clinton applauded GLIFAA for 17 years of promoting equality in the federal workplace ...snip
Amb. Rice: Sec. Clinton’s extension of benefits for LGBT State Department employees overseas “served as a model for similar changes on behalf of American LGBT staff of the UN Secretariat.”

Joshi predicts that Secretary Clinton’s actions ‘may have serious “domino-effect” benefits for LGBT diplomats of other nations serving in the United States, LGBT immigrants, and LGBT government employees outside the State Department.’” [“Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies Named Employee Resource Group of the Year,” usaid.gov, 10/9/09]

Hillary Clinton doesn't have to convince the world what she Might do for LGBT Rights, because its all here. On the record.
Sec of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has already been doing it. And on a very big scale.
Human Rights are Equal Rights
This is a great resource.
PROUD TO SUPPORT HILLARY CLINTON

= new reply since forum marked as read
Yup. And how come she never marched in a parade in the 60's either, yup what about THAT!!
Duh.
This bright woman we support, can create change like this at the State level, crossing international boundaries on a subject so controversial, and for some to be so blatantly dumb, as to the accomplishments Hillary Clinton holds out for us to all see.
Hillary has been there done that & opened the door & passed the torch that she ignited, on to future generations of LGBT, that eyes will open & change will happen for Human & Equal Rights for all.
What the F more does she need to do?
Oh yes, she needs to do it all in high f*ckin heels & dancing backwards with her eyes closed & carrying, in one hand, a tray of the finest bourbon to serve the table of greasy, stodgy old farts ready to correct het if she spulls a drop on their fine tailored f*cking suitcoats.
WTF??
After all that dancing to the patriarchy just to reach the glass f*cking ceiling they mockingly put in place, leading this Nation would be a walk-in-the-f*cking-park for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
She is far superior in wisdom, world affairs & ethics than anyone running against her for Pres 2016.
Hillary Clinton has already done it & everyone f*cking knows it.
Love our girl Hillary!
