Hillary Takes On DeGeneres

Senator Hillary Clinton made a guest appearance yesterday, April 7, 2008, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. After giving a cute little gift to Ellen, they really got down to business. The Senator talked about how “if” she wins the Presidency, she will push for better federal gay rights benefits. Clinton then recalled the story about her father before he passed away and how one of the people holding his hand was their gay neighbor.

Later down the road, the neighbor got sick and was in the hospital and his partner was not allowed in the hospital. This really touched Hillary in a way that has really opened her eyes to our community. She plans to fight so that this does not happen to other GLBT couples and as she plainly put it, “Let’s just make it fair”. Well I’m with you Senator! Let’s just hope that the Senator will be able to keep her word! At least Hilliary showed up for the PGN interview right?
