Hillary Clinton: "human rights are gay rights and gay rights are human rights, once and for all"

This is truly a Quote of the Day. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a terrific speech today marking LGBT Month.

"Just as I was very proud to say the obvious more than 15 years ago in Beijing that human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights, well, let me say today that human rights are gay rights and gay rights are human rights, once and for all."

She reiterated US administration's support for advancing gay rights worldwide and in the US. You may read full transcript of her speech here.
