Related: About this forumHillary Clinton responds to Jim Obergefell's endorsement today
"Jim made history and changed America for the better by fighting for marriage equality all the way to the Supreme Court," Clinton said. "There are still too many places where LGBT Americans are targeted for harassment and violence, and there are too many young people uncertain and scared of what their future might hold. Right now in America, you can get married on Saturday and be fired from your job on Monday just because of who you love. I see the injustices that are happening in our country, and that is why I'm committed to working with Jim and others to end discrimination against the LGBT community once and for all."

(4,822 posts)Bernie said he thought it was a states rights issue. Anyway, we aren't electing a saint, we're electing a political representative, and I would rather have someone who can grow and change with new information than someone like Bernie Sanders who's unchanging and ideologically rigid.

And as recently as 2006, Sanders opposed marriage equality for his adopted home state of Vermont. The senator may have evolved earlier than his primary opponents. But the fact remains that, in the critical early days of the modern marriage equality movement, Sanders was neutral at best and hostile at worst.
