Out For Democracy: Another LGBT News Item Absent from Clinton Website


April 25, 2007

Hillary Clinton's campaign sent out this press release last week in which she commens Governor Lynch and the New Hampshire legislature for leadership on civil unions.

Clinton states: "New Hampshire has a long history of protecting its citizens from discrimination, and I would like to commend Governor Lynch and the New Hampshire legislature for their commitment and support for the civil rights of gays and lesbians."

Great quote, right? Still, I can't help but notice that much like Hillary's recently announced list of LGBT supporters, this press release is conspicuously absent from the list of recent press releases on the official Hillary Clinton website. Why is it that of all the twenty-plus press releases sent out his month, this is the one that doesn't make it on the website? Why is it, for that matter, that the word 'gay' cannot be found anywhere on the Hillary Clinton website?

Hillary Clinton is saying the right things to LGBT press, and to LGBT audiences. It's what she's NOT willing to say about us to mainstream audiences that's got me worried.
