Hillary Clinton, Loudly and Proudly, Taps Into a Vein of Support Among Gay Voters

The problem I have always had with Clinton is her stance on gay issues.

Mrs. Clinton does not have the most cutting-edge record when it comes to gay rights. She did not speak out on behalf of same-sex marriage until 2013. But what she lacks on the policy front, she is trying to make up for partly with a tongue-in-cheek recognition that in her decades in the public eye she has developed a certain pop culture status, particularly among some gay men who identify with her triumphs over adversity, her redemption, and her evolving personal style.

Well, this is decidedly "tongue in cheek".

She has not been at the front of any gay person's list because she is a tight ass on most social issues involving sexuality.

Which is natural for her. She is a Clinton, of course. And the Clintons do not take unnecessary political risks.

I suppose there is some "danger" that "the gays" would go for Martin Omalley or some other pretender to the throne but that is unlikely.

Gay people like any other people who rise against the odds and we do have to give Hill the point here.

She has certainly come up from behind in many ways.

The only problem that I see for her, really, is to keep Bill out of it. The white head bobbing behind.

A friend had a chance sighting of Bill in London the other day. White hair, extra thin body, a surrounding of gorillas. No handshaking. He is still the Big Dog.

Can he stay out of his "wife's" way. I say "wife" because I do not believe for a minute that they are still partners in anything. But that is surely none of my business. Other than the worry that Bill will step in the shit somehow. The mouth which will not stop running. The ego which knows no bounds.
