Hillary Clinton: Stand Up For Gay Rights

"We need more voices speaking up for universal human rights. We have honoured some of the great advocates here today who have spoken out courageously for women’s rights, gay rights and religious understanding, showing us that our communities and institutions are strongest when equality and opportunity are open to all people and freedom of conscience is respected. And it is important that as we chart our way forward in this new century, we bring with it the enlightened view that every individual around the world regardless of gender, religion, race, ethnicity or orientation, should be able to contribute to their societies and to have the chance to live up to his or her God-given potential." - Hillary Clinton, speaking at Scotland's St. Andrews University, where she received an honorary doctorate. It was Clinton's first foreign visit since leaving the Obama administration. (Via The Scotsman)
