Via JMG: Equality California Endorses Hillary
Via press release:
California, the nation's second
largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender membership organization,
has endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.
EQCA is the first major LGBT organization in the nation to endorse the
former Secretary of State for President. "We want Hillary Clinton to run
and are ready to mobilize our 800,000 members to help her win," said
Equality California's Executive Director Rick Zbur. "We're enthusiastic
about her candidacy because she has the best record of accomplishment on
LGBT issues of any potential candidate. Equality California is ready
for Hillary!"
As Secretary of State, Clinton
championed the rights of LGBT people around the world, making LGBT
rights and acceptance a global priority. In 2011, Sec. Clinton gave a
historic speech on International Human Rights Day at the United Nations
in Geneva, saying: "Gay rights are human rights, and human rights are
gay rights." Under Sec. Clinton's leadership, the Department of State
used its full range of diplomatic and development tools to combat
violence and discrimination against LGBT people worldwide. Thanks to her
efforts, LGBT rights became a core principle of U.S. foreign policy in
an unprecedented way.
