The Patriot Post® · Hillary's Flip-Flop

Here’s what we know about Hillary Clinton’s views on same-sex marriage thanks to NPR’s Terry Gross, who put the screws to the presidential hopeful: Hillary’s views have evolved. Growing up, Hillary never imagined same-sex marriage. Her husband signed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1993. As secretary of state, Clinton said she didn’t talk about same-sex marriage because she was championing “LGBT” rights internationally. When she stepped down in 2013, Hillary said she publicly supported same-sex marriage and she was happy when DOMA was repealed. She admits the social change “has been an extraordinarily fast, by historic terms social, political and legal transformation.” But now she criticizes people in, say, Texas who “believe they have a direct line to the divine” and who “operate in an evidence-free zone” when it comes to the issue. You’d expect someone who completely changed her mind in 20 years would have some understanding, but the winds of public opinion have shifted and Hillary once again sails with the wind.
