Just like most politicians. In that respect they don't differ much. It's far easier nowadays to support gay marriage and gays in the military than it was in the 90s, for example, because it is more acceptable to the American public. For all the criticism of Clinton, I remember that he was fighting upstream on this issue. I was quite young but recall the hatred being lobbied at him over trying to get the military to accept gays. It was one of the first things he tackled and it ended hurting him politically. It's now so easy to criticize him, but the national mood in 1993 was vastly different from today. Ditto for Hillary and healthcare. I still think that her proposal back then was far better than whatever waterdown version of a health care bill we will end with in the future. The outline of the Kennedy Baucus proposal is not particularly impressive.
