Hilary Clinton on Friday released an ad
in which she reiterates her support for LGBT rights.
In the 30-second ad, titled Hillary
Clinton: Equality is About Changing Hearts and Minds, the
Democratic presidential nominee talks about LGBT rights over images
of two women holding hands and two men sharing a kiss at a LGBT Pride
rally.
“We need to build an America where no
one has to worry they can get married on Saturday and be fired on
Monday,” Clinton says. “Where kids aren't bullied just because
of who they are. And where every American has the chance to live to
his or her God-given potential no matter who they are or who they
love.”
Chad Griffin, president of the Human
Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest LGBT rights advocate,
applauded Clinton.
“Time and again Hillary Clinton has
demonstrated through her words and actions that she is committed to
fighting for full LGBTQ equality,” Griffin said. “All of the
progress we’ve achieved is at stake in this election. While Donald
Trump continues his hate-filled campaign and threatens to drag us
backwards, Hillary Clinton will fight to break down the walls of
discrimination that still hold us back. It’s crucially important
that pro-equality Americans turn out and vote for Hillary Clinton as
the next President of the United States.”
