Hillary Clinton Calls Out Rick Perry For Anti-Gay Comments

<When asked about Perry’s comments during a Wednesday talk to promote her book at San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre, Clinton suggested that he be held to a higher standard, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

"We're living in a time of real political angst," she said. "There's a lot of work to be done, and I believe it's going to come down to people demanding that those who hold public office start making evidence-based decisions again."

While also in San Francisco earlier this month, Perry caused a stir when asked if he considered homosexuality a disorder.>
