Hillary Clinton Was Seriously Pissed When Passports Were Changed To Accommodate Same-Sex Parents
Hillary Clinton has made it clear she evolved on marriage equality, and has gone so far as to include same-sex couples in her campaign ads, chose an openly gay man as her campaign manager, and hired a liaison to the LGBT community.
But back in 2011, when she was Secretary of State, Clinton was not pleased the State Department changed passport applications to be gender-neutral, in recognition of same-sex parents.
In a recently surfaced email, Clinton wrote to an aide:
"Who made the decision that State will no longer use the term 'mother and father,' and instead substitute 'parent one and two'? I’m not defending that decision, which I disagree [with] and knew nothing about, in front of this Congress."
Clinton insisted she “could live with” a different term for gay parents, but that she wanted the applications to “retain the presumption of a mother and father.”
“We need to address this today,” she warned, “or we will be facing a huge Fox-generated media storm led by [Sarah] Palin, et al.”
Maybe that's why Hill deleted all those old emails?
