14. Ironic considering her decades long opposition to the rights of women to marry women.

LGBT rights are women's rights, L is for lesbians and they are women, T is for transgender and some of them are women just as some of the bisexuals are women. Opposition to LGBT equality is in and of itself opposition to equal standing for women. You can slice and dice that to try to make it fit in the Liberal Box but it just does not fit.

So 'I'm for women's rights, as long as those women are straight and cis!!!!' Is like saying 'I'm for rights for people exactly like me but not for those who might be different from me'.

It's pretty insulting to hear that the candidate who opposed the civil rights of millions of women and men is some guardian of those rights.

Fact: Hillary spent years opposing rights other women were seeking to gain. 'No' she said 'my religion is more important than your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. One man, one woman!!!!'
