Of the Federal Marriage Amendment she said, "This amendent was wedge politics at it’s worst. It was mean-spirited, it was against the entire forward movement of American history. It was the first time anyone was proposing we amend the Constitution to deny citizens rights rather than widen the circle of rights and opprotunities."
"In the end, we stopped the Federal Marriage Amendment and we sent a strong message that we will not stand idly by when anyone tries to write discrimination into our Constitution."
She assured the pro-gay group, "I want you to know this is exactly the kind of partnership we will have when I am President."
She promised, "We’re going to reach out and work with our allies in Congress both to change laws and change hearts. We want to make sure that all Americans in committed relationships have equal benefits from health insurance and life insurance to Social Security and property rights and more."
"These are fundamental rights," she said.
Then, Hillary vowed to promoted the most radical component of the gay agenda.
"I have long supported civil unions," she said. "We’re going to make sure that nothing stands in the way of loving couples, gay or straight to adopt children."
Hillary also said as President she would end the military’s policy of "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell."
At the end of her speech, Hillary joked to members of the Human Rights Campaign, or HRC that "We can accomplish these goals because we have the same determination, the same can-do attitude and the same initials."
