Secretary Clinton's Historic Speech on LGBT Human Rights

"In an important policy speech yesterday in honor of International Human Rights Day, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the Obama administration’s intention to use foreign aid incentives, among other tools, to encourage the improvement of LGBT rights around the globe

Acknowledging before diplomats in Geneva that “my own country’s record on human rights for gay people is far from perfect,” Clinton took an important step toward universal acceptance by publicly stating the government’s position that “like being a woman, like being a racial, religious, tribal, or ethnic minority, being LGBT does not make you less human.”

And, she added, “that is why gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights.”
