http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/hillary-clinton-to-address-nations-largest-lgbt-rights-group?utm_term=.qpgqXnjeY#.ugaBXQP3rWASHINGTON Hillary Clinton will be addressing the staff, board, and volunteer leaders of the Human Rights Campaign, the nations 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. Clintons 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 Obamas re-election nearly 18 months before the election, in May 2011. HRC did not endorse Obama in his first run, however, until June 2008after 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.
