Leaked emails reveal Hillary Clinton has always supported LGBTI rights
Hillary Clinton’s emails have been released to the public, and it shows that she has always been a supporter of LGBTI rights.
The Democratic politician that could very easily be US’ next president had her online messages released by the State Department, and one of them is very revealing.
Back in 2009, four years before she said she ‘evolved’ on same-sex marriage, the then-Secretary of State expressed concern over the torture and murder of gay men in Iraq.
‘So sad and terrible,’ she said. ‘We should ask Chris Hill to raise this w govt. If we ever get Posner confirmed we should emphasize LGBT human rights.’
The Washington Blade reports the Chris Hill to which Clinton is referring to is likely US ambassador to Iraq during the first two years of the Obama administration.
Posner is likely Michael Posner, who came to serve in the State Department after his confirmation as assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor.’
During her campaign for president so far, Clinton has consistently supported marriage equality. In videos she has shown same-sex couples and mentioned LGBTI rights in her speeches.
In a 2013 video made with the Human Rights Campaign, Clinton revealed she believes that LGBTI people are ‘full and equal citizens and deserve the rights of citizenship’.
‘That includes marriage,’ she said. ‘That’s why I support marriage for lesbian and gay couples. I support it personally and as a matter of policy and law.’
