Did you know that one of the first things Hillary Clinton did as Secretary of State was extend heterosexual couple benefits to same sex couples, granting them the same benefits as heterosexual couples, such as visas,diplomatic passports&access to medical facilities?
4 years ago today, she cancelled a rally in Wisconsin in the wake of the shooting at the Pulse Night club to pay respect to victims because that’s what a true leader who cares about all her people would do. We lost on so much. This wound will never heal, I won’t get over it. 🏳️‍🌈💔

Did you know that in 2004,Hillary Clinton voted against a federal amendment that would ban gay marriage? Furthermore, she spoke out against it,urging others to vote against it,too. Sadly,it’s the same speech Russians used to trick people into thinking she’s anti LGBT.
She has always had our 🏳️‍🌈 back in whatever capacity she can and stood up for us in more ways we can name. Sadly, her great record was distorted by those who didn’t have LGBT community’s best interest at heart.
