A Message To LGBT Americans

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Politik > Hillary Clinton

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.

    If Oprah can openly endorse Obama then why can't Perez endorse Hillary? I don't understand. If it was someone else's blog that wasn't famous and they were blogging about who they support it wouldn't bother anybody. It's his blog he can state his opinions.

    Mr. Barack Obama as president of this country is like a joke without a punchline and I will tell you why:
    -
    -
    HE DOESN'T KNOW FACT FROM FICTION.
    HE CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND A DEMOCRACY.
    HE BELIEVES IN NEOSLAVERY.
    HE IS ANTI-SEMITIC.
    He will turn this country into Iran. Is that what you people want?
    IT IS ONE THING A DEMOCRAT SAYS (OR ANY POLITICAL AFFILIATION), IT IS ONE THING A DEMOCRAT DOES…
    Barack Obama will do nothing!!!!
    Repeat after me boys and girls…
    It's for the people, it's by the people
    We are not sheeple!
    We refuse to be cut down, we will stand our ground.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
    We are the USA!
    We are the USA!
    GOOOOOOOOOOO Hillary Clinton!
    GOOOOOOOOOOO Hillary Clinton!
    Clinton for president!

    How can anyone say she wouldn't make a fabulous President? She already had my vote, but now it is cemeted with her even more. I am not a part of the LGBT community, but I love them all. If this woman doesn't win, I am moving to Canada! VOTE HILLARY IN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    523

    You all who are saying to perez that he needs to stop with the "political Bullshit" are simply wrong. These people that have the opportunity to become our president are going to have the power to change our lives in one way or another. How can that not mean something to you. Sure everyone comes to this site for gossip, but why not become a part of the people that care about who runs our country. Actually vote this year…and if you did vote the last time vote again and know everything about the candidates. You can't vote for someone that is going to run your country if you don't know about their policies. I am 17 years old and it's not hard to see that politics is an important topic. So fucking deal with the fact that he is trying to educate all of your ignorant asses!

  24. Honesty in Politics says – reply to this


    524

    It amazes me the gall of the Clinton Machine. Her husband was the one who pushed the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy, which has lead to the dismissal of thousands of highly trained soldiers, some of which are arab language experts we desperatly need. Isn't time we elect someone who actually believes in these things, rather than just says things to pander and get elected?

  25. Ignorance does seem to be bliss says – reply to this


    525

    Regardless of how you feel of ANY of the candidates, the fact that Perez is at least posting something about it deserves applause! We are the next generation…how do you think we are going to make our country ANYTHING if we strictly base EVERYTHING on Gossip and not something as relevant as the PRESIDENT OF OUR UNITED STATES!!!! Sigh…I guess ignorance is BLISS!!!!! The same Ignorance that stuck us with BUSH FOR 8 LONG PAINFUL YEARS! Kudos to you Perez!

    I'm from Massachusetts, where an inexperienced black man was voted Governor, by the name of Deval Patrick. What a mistake. First thing he did was have the taxpayers pay for a shiney new caddilac for his riding pleasure. Boy did he catch shit for that (he had to return it), and it's been downhill ever since. He can't get nothing done and it's like he's trying to do stuff but no one takes him seriously. THIS is what will happen if you vote for Obama. He has no experience and it will cripple his ability to get anything done. His message sounds good, but he'll be lost in office.

    Hillary is awesome.. She has my vote..

    I wonder if any of the haters bashing Hillary on your blog are GLBT? Doesn't sound like some of them understand the issues facing the GLBT community. Hillary is by far the best presidential candidate in the election. GWB has been complete nightmare to this country. We need another Clinton to clean up after another Bush.

    VOTE HILLARY!!

    Re: SHE BLOWS – Do the world a favor and jump off a bridge!!! Who the fuck are you to decide whether someone can get married or not? FIRST of all: I'm a lesbian and a christian…and I know above everything that God just wants me to be happy…he created me this way so who are you to judge God's creation?? And SECONDLY: "getting married" is just getting a certificate that states someone is married…keeping the LGBT community from "getting married" is not going to keep them from loving one another and spending their lives together…so how does it hurt you if they get a fucking certificate??? Get your head out of your ass and back into reality! The LGBT community is taking the world my storm and no one can stop us! Stop putting your negativity into the world…we have enough of it thank you very much!
    AND FINALLY:::: what the fuck are you doing on perezhilton.com if you're a fucking homophob??? how dumb are you?

    I live in Albany, New York. Hillary has done nothing for New Yorkers. She had the audacity to run as a New Yorker because she knew it was an easy seat for her to win. As a native New Yorker, I resented the fact that she thought she could just pick a state and decide she wanted to run for their Senate. The Clintons are an evil empire. I hope she wins just so you can all see how empty she is. Obama talks of change. The great hope. HOW? TELL ME? I can tell you all the things I'd like changed - but I'd expect you to ask me how. It's cracking me up that the Kennedys have the audacity to stand there seal clapping all about change, Yeah, it's about time. Um, they've been part of the problem. Hanging on since 1963! The Kennedy's have done nothing to institute change, they've just sucked off the system and now they are going to beat their drums that they want change? Ok, start by Ted stepping down. I think you've all got valid arguments, and I wish people would stop calling each other stupid. The people who have an argument are puttling forth their opinions with tact and thought. Oh - and please, knock off the "first." I don't care if you have nothing better to do than stare at your computer so you can be first. Please.

    WHY do you believe a word out of this crazy lady's mouth!?? First of all, as a republican I find it extreamly offensive the this woman implies we are all racist and hate gays. REPUBLICANS DO NOT HATE MINORITIES AND GAYS. This is a stupid lie that dems having been screaming about for years to try to get those groups to vote for them. I, like most repubs, am conservative because I believe in small govt and the freedoms promised to me by the consitution. Dems just want to control all of you. Bill and Hillary have been playing the race card in the media for months now if you want to talk about racists. And guess what, hillary is against gay marriage as well. I actually, don't have a problem with gay marriage and I'm a republican! PEREZ HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS. In reading your website perez it appears you have a great deal more hatred towards other people and groups than I do. If you want to hear another side to the arguments, please feel free ask a conservative. I am not a bad person because I believe people should be in control of their own lives, NOT THE GOVT and I believe in God!

    Re: Forsberg – It's hard to blame the fag on this one. Hilliary's been working overtime to reach out to everybody. She probably offered Perez a date with Bill for some exposure. Little does she know that Bill got super Tuesday and fat Tuesday mixed up. He's chubby chasing at the Mardi Gras…

    the clintons refused to end discrimination against homosexuals in the military, and hillary won't change that. clinton has also refused to acknowledge marriage rights for the lgbt community. clinton is doing what she knows best, lieing to get votes.

    i think the snub by perez has more to do with the historic mistrust between latinos/gays and the black community then it has to do with how hillary will treat the lgbt community. hate to see minority groups put at odds against their own collective interest….

    Perez,

    Stop posting political trash. Your website is viewed strictly for entertaining celebrity gossip.

    Your viewers do not care who you support in this election.

    In addition, your viewers can go to a reputable news source to educate themselves on the various candidates. I pity the people who value anything you espouse regarding politics.

    I don't understand why any of you super religous conservatives come to a gossip site created by a GAY liberal. If you don't want to hear his liberal views then go to another site or at scroll past the blogs on politics instead of commenting about it.

    Sounds like she has a small minorty group of people in mind. I thought if she was going to be representing all people and the LGBT (whatever) wants to be treating like everyone else why do they have a special group?

    Mr. Barack Obama as president of this country is like a joke without a punchline and I will tell you why:
    -
    -
    HE DOESN'T KNOW FACT FROM FICTION.
    HE CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND A DEMOCRACY.
    HE BELIEVES IN NEOSLAVERY.
    HE IS ANTI-SEMITIC.
    He will turn this country into Iran. Is that what you people want?
    IT IS ONE THING A DEMOCRAT SAYS (OR ANY POLITICAL AFFILIATION), IT IS ONE THING A DEMOCRAT DOES…
    Barack Obama will do nothing!!!!
    Repeat after me boys and girls…
    It's for the people, it's by the people
    We are not sheeple!
    We refuse to be cut down, we will stand our ground.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
    We are the USA!
    We are the USA!
    GOOOOOOOOOOO Hillary Clinton!
    GOOOOOOOOOOO Hillary Clinton!
    Clinton for president!
    Clinton 08'

    Hillary is shameless in her attempts to reach that which she feels entitled to. It makes me simply heartsick that someone could believe that Hillary should win because she "understands" LGBTs. That is just as sad as someone who votes against his or her own personal, economic, and environmental interests for an anti-abortion Republican.

    The truth is that both candidates have similar policy and beliefs. It is their tactics and ability to unite everyone that are abysmally different. I would hope that people choose to vote for someone who will unite us all, nationally and internationally, gay and straight, Latino and African American, rich and poor. Not because that one person is going to unite us, but because that one person gives us the hope we all have in us to better ourselves, to live better lives for ourselves and others.

    The last time I checked LGBTs also cared about the environment, about education, about taxes, about the war, about civil rights, about human rights, about having a voice in the government, about how other people in the world view our country. A vote based on Hillary's statement is a vote against the future where all of us come together not in a happy utopia, but in a world we want to live in, a world that we create.

    Obama is the only way for us to achieve that.

    It is not fair and equal until we allow gay marriage. She has fought admirably for equal rights for LGBT citizens, but it isn't enough until they have all of rights that American's deserve. It's like saying, "Hey, we think you are human too…just not quite as human as everyone else." It still isn't enough!!

    Hillary just agreed to have a debate on FOX, what a sell out. But Im not surprised. She also left her name onthe ballot in Michigan when the other democrats agreed not to campaign there and all took their name off the ballots. She also declared victory in FL, when they agreed not to campaign there. She's going to pull a fast one, when she sarts falling behind she will contest the Florida votes and demand they count. She's basically "crossing the picket line". How is anyone suppose to trust her when she betrays her oen party?

    Gay City News Endorsement
    January 31, 2008

    Given that the two Democratic contenders share a similar, generally friendly and supportive posture toward LGBT Americans, we ought to think about the message our choice sends about a fundamental question - what our politics should be all about. We are finding our place here and there at the table, but we have also spent much of our life on the outside. The nation needs to hear our views on how American politics can accommodate new voices in the mix.

    Judged by that measure and taking full stock of how the Democratic nomination contest has unfolded, we believe the choice is clear.

    Gay City New endorses Barack Obama.
