Hillary caves to Gays:>>Clinton Says She's Evolved on Gay Marriage Stance 10/26/2006 In an appearance early Wednesday evening in front of gay activists, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton indicated that she would not oppose efforts by Eliot Spitzer, the odds-on favorite to become the new governor, to enact a same-sex marriage law in New York. She also suggested that language she used when she first ran for the Senate in 2000 explaining her opposition to marriage equality based on the institution's moral, religious, and traditional foundations had not reflected the "many long conversations" she's had since with "friends" and others, and that her advocacy on LGBT issues "has certainly evolved." On Wednesday, Clinton presented her position on marriage equality as more one of pragmatism. "I believe in full equality of benefits, nothing left out," she said. "From my perspective there is a greater likelihood of us getting to that point in civil unions or domestic partnerships and that is my very considered assessment." Clinton addressed a gathering organized by the Greater Voices Coalition made up of LGBT Democratic organizations citywide. The meeting, which was held at the Upper East Side home of a Clinton supporter, ran for more than an hour. Representatives of the gay press were invited to the meeting, which was on the record.
