Hillary Clinton: Homosexual Marriage Should Be a ‘Constitutional Right’
[NBC] – In an apparent shift from comments last summer, Hillary Clinton is urging the Supreme Court to rule to allow same-sex couples nationwide to marry, calling it a “constitutional right.”
…That seems to be a shift for Clinton, who made headlines in June of last year for appearing to suggest in a contentious interview with NPR that she believes the issue of same-sex marriage is best handled on a state-by-state basis.
In that interview, Clinton conceded that, like the president, she had not supported gay marriage during her previous presidential run.
But, she added, “just because you’re a politician, doesn’t mean you’re not a thinking human being. And you gather information. You think through positions. You’re not 100 percent set – thank goodness – you’re constantly reevaluating where you stand. That was true for me.”
