I don’t believe she is necessarily “ok with it”. Bill and Hillary are family, whatever their relationship is, it’s family. We support family. We believe the best of our family. Even when things seem shady, we make excuses

I’ve been raped. I believe Broadrick likely was raped. I am not voting for Bill, I am voting for…

And I also posted the 2000 link twice.

I read it the same way. I feel like this is a message people should share - it is ok to say no if you want to say no. Don’t be pressured into a “maybe”.

Indeed, not only did he not apologize, he said he didn’t need to be “lectured”.

You must have missed this article I posted from 2000: http://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/fugged… “Obtaining Congressman Bernie Sanders’ position on the gay marriage issue was like pulling teeth...from a rhinoceros. Last month, shortly after the decision of the Amestoy Court was issued, Mr. Sanders publicly tried…

Well, 2000 was in the midst of a huge revolution of how people responded to gay people in the US. Based on my own memory of the time, a LOT of gay people were in the closet. That seemed to be the biggest thing going on at the time - public acceptance of gay people. There were also a lot out of the closet. I don’t want…

Then you’ll agree with me that DADT, DOMA, 1994 Crime Bill, etc are irrelevant?

So, when she visited the quilt in Washington in 1996, or when her husband started the first office of AIDS housing, or when he convened the National Task Force on AIDS Drug Development during years when Sanders wasn’t doing any of this? that doesn’t count? just for votes? right?

“Obtaining Congressman Bernie Sanders’ position on the gay marriage issue was like pulling teeth...from a rhinoceros. Last month, shortly after the decision of the Amestoy Court was issued, Mr. Sanders publicly tried walking the tightrope — applauding the court’s decision and the cause of equal rights without…

You mean when she was 15? So he wrote this because he was into state’s rights. As someone else pointed out, he was affirmatively against marriage as anything other than between a man and woman in the 80s https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8FLYb…
he wasn’t for civil unions in 2000:http://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/fugged…

He was against it in his own state.

He was AGAINST same sex marriage in VT in 2006. He said the state wasn’t ready for it and it wasn’t a big deal.
HRC is the only candidate who addresses HIV issues in her policy platform. But, I guess, since Sanders was (maybe) 2 yrs ahead of her on the gay marriage issues, LGBT issues are done for him. He’s good to go…

Didn’t just say it was for the states to decide in 2006, actually said VT wasn’t ready for it.

You do realize that in 2000, Sanders didn’t even support Civil Unions in VT while in the same year, HRC marched in NY’s gay pride parade?

The reason why rape claims often aren’t prosecuted is because police departments are often not trained for and are not incentivized to investigate. In many states, LE are not required to be trained in sexual assault investigation. This shows in their lack of understanding (google is your friend on this).
It’s not…
