Sandy Rios of the Christian
conservative American Family Association (AFA) says people should not
be surprised that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton backs gay
marriage, after all she might be a lesbian.
In a 6-minute video for HRC's Americans
for Marriage Equality campaign released on Monday, Clinton announced
that her stance on the issue had changed.
“I support marriage for lesbian and
gay couples,” Clinton said. “I support it personally and as a
matter of policy and law.”

“If you think that her support of
lesbian and gay rights is something new, I'm sorry, she has
repackaged herself so successfully but if you just do a little
research on Hillary Clinton, you know that her love of homosexuality
goes back a very long way,” Rios
said on AFA radio.
“Hillary Clinton, there have long
been rumors about her sexual persuasion; if you don't know that you
need to know that. I can't confirm or deny anything; I just remember
that Dick Morris was the first one to raise this publicly. He worked
with Bill and Hillary Clinton for a number of years and he said on
public television, I was shocked because I knew about the rumors, he
actually alleged that Hillary was a – he was trying to make excuses
for Bill Clinton when he was caught with Monica Lewinsky. And he …
basically hinted that Hillary was a lesbian.”
“All I can tell you there are rumors
abound and I guess since it doesn't matter anymore then it doesn't
matter anymore, does it? So if you think this is like a seismic
shift for Hillary Clinton, I can guarantee you this is not a seismic
shift. She has always, as far as I know back to college, endorsed
and embraced all things lesbian and gay. That is her history on this
so that shouldn't be too shocking. She has played the role of wife
and cookie-making mother, I'm sorry but this is just the reality of
things. We are being caught in this vortex of homosexual advocacy,
it's just amazing.”
