... With that said, I believe Hillary herself has been LGBT-friendly for decades. It's just that the whole pro-gay/anti-gay thing didn't attract much public and media attention until recently. Once it did (i.e. once a lot more people started giving a damn), it became politically expedient to push and promote LGBT-friendly stances and policies. I think social media, blogs, Youtube, etc have played a substantial role in bringing more attention to this.
I think you're on to something.

Hmm... She marched in a pride parade way back when she was still First Lady. She opposed DADT, supported domestic partnerships, and worked to end prohibitions against same sex couples adopting, all back in the 1990s.
Let's not pretend she just decided to be pro-LGBT a few years ago when we have her actual record going back decades.
Except Obama appealed the court ruling on DADT and took it to the Supreme Court, thereby delaying its removal. HE OPPOSED GAY RIGHTS.. until the courts FORCED it to be accetable..
Why is the GOP STILL anti-gay? Why does their platform still come out against gay marriage and endorses "conversion therapy"? I'll take someone who evolves on the issue for whatever reason vs. people who stubbornly refuse to join the 21st century for any reason.
Because that section of the platform is stupid and idiotic. Luckily for gays, not all Republicans feel the same way, its why the Republicans went to court to remove DADT for example while Democrats defended it..
Polls still have the majority of Republicans as anti gay marriage, and Republican-led state legislatures routinely attempt to pass anti-lgbt legislation (see "religious freedom" laws and bathroom laws) when they're not actively trying to block non-discrimination legislation at the federal, state and local levels. At some point, you guys just have to own that a lot of Republicans are total trash when it comes to social issues.
Lying Hillary doesn't have a single genuine position on anything. She's like an robot waiting to be programmed. As an earlier post said, it all depends on who is writing the checks (or what will get her a vote).
I can't believe anyone who supports lgbt rights or women's rights would ever consider voting for someone who takes millions of dollars from the most oppressive anti-gay, anti-women dictatorships in the world. Of course transgender bathrooms are more important than stonings and beheadings.

You do know that I can scroll up and see what you posted, right?

Because it just recently became socially cool to be gay and it's the flavor group of the year and there are votes there.
Not socially cool.....more accepted these days and not flavor of the year. Didn't you know any gays growing up. I knew quite a few but they were hidden and it was really sad.
WHO appealed the court decision to the Supreme Court?
Thats right, OBAMA administration...
