"There's obviously some disappointment about marriage," Rosen said, referring to gay marriage, which Clinton does not support. "But they're all consistent on that issue, so that's kind of taken off the table here."
And with that, Hilary gives Hillary a gigantic pass one of the key civil rights issues of our time. Rosen might have asked Hillary where she stands on repealing DOMA, a necessary action to ensure that gay Americans in committed relationships get "equal benefits" which is what candidate Clinton says she believes. That can't happen with DOMA on the books.
Also, what about throwing your support behind the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA), which would allow citizens and legal residents in same-sex relationships to sponsor their partners for immigration purposes?
These are two key legislative initiatives that Hillary, as Senator, could undertake now.
She won't. She doesn't have to. She can get tons of LGBT dollars for the asking, thanks to enablers like Rosen.
