Hillary Clinton addressed a crowd of mostly LGBT people at a rally at Wilton Manors, Florida, where she promised further LGBT-friendly reforms.

During her speech, Clinton hit upon several hot button issues affecting gay people – including gun reform, following the Orlando gay club
.....................

She brought up her rival, Republican nominee Donald Trump, saying he would reverse the progress LGBT rights have made in the US over the last few years.

Trump has been “terrible” to the LGBT community in the past, she said.

“Donald Trump has a terrible record on LGBT rights. And this election will determine whether we continue the progress we’ve made or let it be ripped away,” she told the crowd at the Manor Complex, a gay club, which had been decorated with American flags for the event.
.

‘We know Trump has promised he’ll appoint Supreme Court justices who will overturn marriage equality. He will repeal President Obama’s executive actions to protect LGBT people from discrimination,’ she added.

She also promised that if elected she would do away with conversion therapy: a controversial “treatment” for homosexuality, which has been denounced by major psychological and psychiatric institutions around the world..........................

5. Awesome! They can mock her preference for small gatherings all they want, but

there is great power to be found looking directly in the eyes of your audience. And vice versa.

And the photo gallery at the link is wonderful!

9. Wow. Another historic first, I'm sure.

The quantum leap in gay rights since Obama took office must surely be one of his salient legacies. Suffice it to say this would have been inconceivable in 2008.

This was very brave of Hillary - especially coming just a week before the election as it does.
