Shattering the Rainbow Roof: "Hillary - (Condescending Pregnant Pause) From Time to Time..."
... gays and lesbians in this country have faced certain obstacles, erected by those who cling to irrational fears, and aided by triangulating enablers.

Given that your Communications Director is Ann Lewis, sister of Barney Frank, why aren't you being more vocal on shattering the rainbow roof?

The military is effectively closed to at-risk, low-income youth who may face rejection at home if they come out.

Employers can - and do - fire employees for their sexual orientation.

States can - and do - strip legal protections short of marriage (even preventing employers from extending insurance coverage): http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=virginia+gay+marriage

As primary voters with LGBT family members decide where to put their support, we deserve to know if you can see clearly through that glass ceiling to the rainbow roof beyond.

Congressman John Lewis (D-GA) takes a back seat to nobody on civil rights issues. So I'll put it to you plainly: was Congressman Lewis right, and will you show up for the Senate votes on these issues, AND sign the laws if they have to come back to you next Congress for passage?

Glass is transparent. Your answers on LGBT issues aren't.
