Secretary Clinton's Historic Speech on LGBT Human Rights

Time Magazine's summary:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday vowed that the United States would help fight discrimination against gays and lesbians around the world. In what's being hailed as a 'landmark' speech, she marked Human Rights Day by announcing that the U.S. will use diplomacy and $3 million in foreign aid to help expand the rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. Clinton argued that the definition of human rights can—and must—be amended to account for sexual diversity. "Some have suggested that gay rights and human rights are separate and distinct, but in fact they are one and the same,” she said. "Gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights."
