Chelsea Clinton Opens Up About Gay Marriage: "Everyone Should Be Allowed To Marry Their Best Friend"

"I am just so proud that our country is the country that I want my daughter to grow up in so she can marry whoever she want to marry."

In a new interview on The Ellen Degeneres Show, former first daughter Chelsea Clinton is opening up about how after winning "the mom jackpot" she helped shift the elder Clinton's perspective on gay marriage.

"When I got married in 2010 to my best friend it just crystallized so fundamentally to me that everyone should be allowed to marry their best friend," Clinton explained. "And so I joined the equal marriage fight in New York and we got equal marriage in New York in 2011."

"I am just so proud that our country is the country that I want my daughter to grow up in so she can marry whoever she want to marry," Clinton continued. "But she needs to learn to walk first."

This coming on the heals of last month's controversy in which The Washington Free Beacon uncovered a 1999 recording of a Clinton confident who was recorded saying that Hillary was "a little put off by some of this stuff" in regards to interacting with the gay community, citing a "general discomfort."

Clinton has, of course, changed her tune on the gay community in the sixteen years since, even taking to Twitter to help celebrate the historic Marriage Equality ruling back in June.
