President Bill Clinton Speaks at the 2014 Human Rights Campaign Gala

Last night, at the 2014 Human Rights Campaign Gala,  former President Bill Clinton spoke to a packed house of LGBT advocates and activists.

During the speech, Clinton addressed the 3,000 attendees - thanking them for the “poetry and prose” of LGBT activism that he said helped transform the country in regard to LGBT rights and acceptance.

From Politico:

The fired-up crowd attending the Human Rights Campaign’s national dinner at Washington D.C.’s cavernous convention center was particularly enthusiastic whenever he mentioned Hillary Clinton, a likely 2016 Democratic candidate.

The former president noted her support for gay rights during her time at State, when she said that “gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights.”
