A Message To LGBT Americans

thumbnail2.jpg

As I have traveled around the country these past twelve months, what I sensed in my heart has been confirmed – America is embracing its LGBT sons and daughters with an acceptance and understanding as never before. On the campaign trail, a father of a gay son will ask about ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. A woman will ask why she can be discriminated against just because of who she is. Sometimes they wait furtively for the crowd to thin and then whisper their confidences in a soft voice and sometimes they stand up proudly at town meetings and want me to share my views on how I will help lead the change to assure that this country fulfills its promise to everyone.

Let me tell you what I have been telling voters across America. I am fully committed to the fair and equal treatment of LGBT Americans. For seven long years, the Bush Administration has tried to divide us - only seeing people who matter to them. It's been a government of the few, by the few, and for the few. And no community has been more invisible to this administration than the LGBT community.

I will change that. The best evidence of what I will do as President is what I have already done.

* I am proud of my record as First Lady, as a U.S. Senator and as a candidate for President in working toward the fair and equal treatment of LGBT Americans.
* I am proud that as Chair of the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee in 2006, I worked closely with LBGT community to develop a smart strategy that defeated the Federal Marriage Amendment. I am proud of fighting the FMA as divisive wedge politics at its worst.
* I am proud to be a co-sponsor of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the Matthew Shepard Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, and the Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligation Act which would grant the same benefits (including health insurance) to domestic partners of federal employees that are currently offered to employees’ legal spouses.
* I am proud to have authored the Early Treatment for HIV Act, which expands access to vital treatment options for low-income individuals living with HIV, and fought to fully fund the Ryan White CARE Act.
* I am proud that I hired a National Director of LGBT Outreach within a month of announcing my candidacy for President and to have openly gay and lesbian staffers serving at all levels of my campaign.
* I am proud to have a National LGBT Steering Committee of over 130 that includes openly LGBT elected officials, Board members and opinion leaders on issues ranging from transgender rights, to HIV/AIDS, to “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”.
* I am proud to have marched in Gay Pride parades as both First Lady and as Senator and to have spoken in front of so many LGBT audiences ranging from the Human Rights Campaign, Empire State Pride Agenda, the Hetrick Martin Institute, PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), GMHC (Gay Men’s Health Crisis), and the American Foundation for AIDS Research.
* I am proud to have fought Republican efforts to demonize and marginalize the LGBT community, and I will continue to do that as President.

We have so much work to do. When I am President, we will work together to make sure that all Americans in committed relationships have equal benefits and that nothing stands in the way of loving couples who want to adopt children in need. We're going to expand our federal hate crimes legislation and pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and assure that they are both fully inclusive of all people. And finally, we will put an end to the failed policy of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Courage, honor, patriotism and sacrifice – the traits that define our men and women in uniform – have nothing to do with sexual orientation.

My father was a conservative Republican, who held very traditional views for much of his life. Yet in his last years, it was a gay couple who lived next door who provided much of the compassion and comfort he and my mother needed as he grew ill. And it was that same neighbor who held his hand as he died. If my father can move, America can move.

To each and every LGBT American, I say this. You have done so much to help this country understand your lives by simply being open and honest about who you are and living your lives with dignity. Thank you for your courage. It is time that we recognize your hard work. I know that this country is ready for changes in the law that reflect the evolution in our hearts.

America deserves a President who appeals to the best in each of us, not the worst; a President who values and respects all Americans and treats all Americans equally no matter who they are or who they love. I want to be that President. I want to be your President.

      Okay, this must be some serious photoshopping. Whether you like her or hate her (like I do), you have to agree that she is seriously ugly and barely a woman. This is probably the best picture this hag has ever taken>>>

      your criteria for world leaders is fascinating. a moron like you would probably vote for paris hilton cuz you think "she's hot". i can't believe idiots like you get a vote.

I'd vote for Hitler over hillary, the c**t.

      Re: SHE BLOWS
      "god created the world"!!! Thanks for giving me a huge laugh today! I'd recommend you read some history books. The only reason Christianity exists today, is because the emporer Constantine made it so when he decreed that Christianity was to the religion of the Roman Empire.!
      "In order to be a good president you need to go by what god says"! MM… Don't remember god ever saying that you should send thousands to their deaths so you rich pals can get lucrative contracts in the middle east… and then lie about it.
      Go Hilary or Obama. Time for people who know what they're talking about to lead America.

      819

      Okay, some of you pansies. You don't HAVE to believe what Senator Clinton is saying… Just look at her RECORD- it speaks for her. Oh, and here's a PS for all you Clinton Haters: FOR the record, it was a well-known LGBT organization that put out a press release back in '92 (the first week that BILL Clinton took office) that forced the gays in the military issue. We all know "Don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue" doesn't work. (No really– proud, gay AND ex-military here.) But ya can't put all that on Hillary. OUR community shot itself in the foot on that one. Leaders in our community helped to create that failed policy by failing to work with a new, hopeful administration on a cohesive strategy for CHANGE. Go, Hills!

      Um perez is allowed to endorse, as fucking OPRAH is shoveling obama shit down every woman's mouth who is dumb enough to love oprah, for the past few months- convincing the people with the least political knowledge to follow her word simply because she's oprah. GO HILARY! at least she doesnt run to her celebrity buddies to help her campaign.

      Anyone who doesn't find this inspiring is heartless. I wish people would realize that a Clinton in the white house is what this country needs. Even if she can't break down barriers, she'll put big fucking dents in them. Some things don't happen over night, they need to be advocated and supported long term to make a real difference. If not for social progress, at least a Clinton would fix our economy, you would think people would vote solely based on that. Economic recession is something to be very afraid of, more so than imaginary enemies.

      oh and if you checked really you would have noticed that in some countries there are some ministers or secretary of state who are.. muslims!!

      BUT I KNOW I AM WASTING MY TIME WITH A PERSON LIKE YOU WHO MIGHT JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF BRAIN CELLS!!!! at least try to put them at work!!!

      827

      I believe that this was a well written speech and I hope that if she is elected president, she will be true to her word and fufill all of these promises. Hillary could do great things for this country, as could Obama, and a few of the open-minded Republicans. America needs a president that will listen and lead, and most importantly be open for new ideas. And unlike some…Huckabee… for example, both democratic parties are willing to take risks in order for there to be equality among all races, sexes, and sexual orientations.

      Uh who promised the military thing (Bill Clinton) and then decided to go with "don't ask don't tell". get a clue - Hilliary is not the best candidate for the gays, the Clintons have set back the gay community and they lied b/c they said they were going to make a change and then did the don't ask don't tell. Get your facts straight Perez

      Eliminating this debacle of a policy, while providing security from persecution and a safe work environment to the many brave men and women serving this county, will be newsworthy.

      I have always admired her. She's intelligent and tough. america for all it's blah blah blah on equal rights……time for a gurl in the boyz clubhouse. Look, if Freaking Pakistan and India can have female PM's…certainly we can elect a woman…. and this is the one. And it's not be cuz she's a woman..it's because she's tough and smart. We got mr C major in office…probably the worst pres since Buchanon….I love Obama…i just want more experience and not pretty words. this gurl is too old and experienced for few pretty words and promises.
      But if he wins…Cool with it. Time to break out of the white boy mold….so hillary or Obama mission accomplished but….most important…they must not fail in office or we will have to deal with 15 more generations of tired old white men and white bread policy *snore*fail*yawn*doom*

      ok, this must be why you switched to her….figures. anyone who shakes their big gay stick at you is worthy…just forget about the war, healthcare AND integrity as a person. its all about soddom & gamorrah, gays everywhere! whatevs! you people need to stop trying to force people to "accept" you and bend over backwards to soothe you. i don't see any letters to black people or latino people or homeless people, or children who suffer from abuse….gay people are just that…PEOPLE> you're not special!

      Re: A gay man – you need to calm the fuck down you spaz. last i checked hitler committed genocide and hillary is for equal rights for EVERYONE. last i checked obama is a christian boy who is proud of both his black and white heritage and is not racist by any means. i am sorry for you that you have no faith in our democracy (which gives you the right to state such ignorant comments).

      have faith that gay marriage will be legalized. if african americans and women receive equal rights, the lgbt community will too. this is our generation's civil rights movement.

      Re: jessica – You are ignorant… The gay community neither asks or wants your sympathy that vaguely veils your contempt. There is a reason for the separation of church and state… It wasn't too long ago that Christians were persecuted in the name of a higher cause… I'm no expert but isn't there something about "let he without sin cast the first stone" in the bible? I'm a gay Christian and I find your comment to be ignorant, divisive, and most of all a complete waste of time. I can't even believe I took the time to respond to you. Good day.

      This woman stands for something, has a platform and a plan. She's going to get my vote, as well as my husband's. Barack just keeps spouting 'hope' with no plan in sight. And, he contradicts himself constantly about major issues including voting on the war. I just think he's too niave and inexperienced. His thoughts on foreign policy are embarrassing and dangerous. And, he got his ass handed to him at the debates for talking out of both sides of his mouth. Also, Barack could care less about health care until it was pointed that he was the only Dem candidate without a universal health plan. I pay for $560 a month for health insurance and it's a huge drain. The plan covers next to nothing, with emmense co-pays. Health insurance is a plague, and he just didn't care about it until he HAD TO. I wanted to like this guy a lot, but he's full of it, sadly.

      It appears there are a lot of morons who read this blog. Do you realize how corrupt and evil Huckabee really is? He doesn't give a d*mn about any of you. He wants his money and his power, and he wants it now. Did you see the games he and McCain played in West Virginia today in order to try to shut Romney out of the win? I don't like Romney, either, but it shows how dirty the Republicans are.

      For the idiots who said Hillary is lying, she's not. She has always been respectful of the LGBT community. When has she not? Can you point out any discrepancies? No, because there are none. For those of you idiots who said she's going to mess up healthcare, have you even actually read her plans? They don't involve shutting out the current insurance companies or putting providers out of work or having the government control or pay for all healthcare. Go to her website and read her actual plan. She merely wants to make sure everyone has the ability to be covered by insurance. What the h*ll is wrong with that? Would you rather she didn't care if everyone has health insurance and health care? I'm guessing your mommies and daddies must be paying for your healthcare, or else you're lucky to have it at the moment (but you may not always).

      BTW, this is Perez's own personal web site, not a national news site. He doesn't need to "give equal time." He is able to state his opinions as much or as little as he wants, whether you (or I) like it or not. You are, of course, welcome to disagree with his choices all you like, but that doesn't make your opinion intelligent. Let Perez have his own opinion on his OWN web site. You go make your own.

Why vote for her or obama(however you spell his name) vote for someone how actually wants to help the country! Vote for Jon Paul. He is the only one against the war, the only one who is against taking all our rights away, all the bull that hilary says is crap. HELLO SHE IS GEORGE BUSH'S cousin… what do you think she is going to do??? help us! haha! yeah right…. votes show that Jon Paul has the most money that came in from the gosh darn military… We dont see Jon Paul on tv cuz people dont wanna face the fact that jon paul is right!

      Dear Fake Hillary,

      I do not need your pandering. I do not need you to tell me you will make me a protected class. I am a successful gay man because I worked hard. Not because the Government made it law that I become a Protected Citizen.

      When you make being gay an issue, the Nation becomes divided.

      To every gay person I would like to give you this advice. Get educated. Work hard. Live with high ethical standards. That is when change will come.

      Re: Meli
      Almost valid, but you try giving long, involved speeches to crowds of hundreds of thousands of people and NOT have a vocal coach to teach you proper techniques. Unless you are a speech therapist you should have absolutely nothing to say about this. Please read up on Alexander technique and breath support, then you may comment.
      She was most likely protecting her voice from immense damage caused by over-strain. Stop with your silly accusations based on nothing, it accomplishes nothing. Christ!

      this is so degrading.

      why would anyone put smiley faces after this stupid rant
      about how lesbians and gays have been so helpful in building this
      nation..oh geez thanks.

      fuck that.

      that is so DEGRADING.

      LESBIANS AND GAYS DEMAND FULL HUMAN RIGHTS.
      PROTECTION AGAINST HATE CRIMES
      LEGAL MARRIAGE AND SPOUSAL BENIFITS

      fuck this bullshit..don't accept this.

      what if she said…"I Would LIKE TO THANK LATINOS BLACKS JEWS AND
      POLES FOR building this country. HERE is a lolipop and a pat on the back.
      Now , shut up and vote for my lying ass and sit in the back of the bus. We have more
      important issues. Your religious freedom and human rights are on the back burner
      cuz i am friendly with the BUSH family and BIG BIG BIG Business. Big business doesn't
      want to pay health benifits for your homo spouses"

      CAUSE THAT IS WHAT SHE IS REALLY SAYING.

      DO NOT VOTE FOR HILARY… VOTE OBAMA…

      DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS degrading and dehumanizing person.
