Hillary Clinton To Address Nation’s Largest LGBT Rights Group In October

http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/hillary-clinton-to-address-nations-largest-lgbt-rights-group?utm_term=.qpgqXnjeY#.ugaBXQP3r

WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton will be addressing the staff, board, and volunteer leaders of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBT group, on Oct. 3.
Calling Clinton a “visionary leader,” HRC President Chad Griffin said in a statement announcing the address that the former secretary of state “is a tremendous advocate for equality and has been a tireless champion for the advancement of LGBT rights as human rights around the globe.”
Griffin said that Clinton will be joining the group at its fall board meeting “to discuss the challenges ahead in the fight for full federal equality” for LGBT people. Clinton’s address will come the morning of its national dinner.
The group is yet to endorse a presidential candidate. In the 2012 race, HRC endorsed President Obama’s re-election nearly 18 months before the election, in May 2011. HRC did not endorse Obama in his first run, however, until June 2008—after it was clear Clinton would not be able to secure the Democratic nomination.

At least Bernie managed to get Anne Rice and her imaginary vampires in his corner this week.
