US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has released a video for LGBT Pride Month in America, talking of progress made but pointing out how much still needs to be done.
‘In the United States and around the world, progress is being made. The tireless advocacy of generations is bending the arc of history. Barriers are being torn down, discriminatory laws repealed, and millions are now able to live more freely and participate in the future of their communities and countries.’
Clinton has been a strong ally to the Obama administration recently and has participated in LGBT Pride month for the past three years. She made history when she addressed the United Nations to recognize that ‘gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights’ all around the world.
Clinton finishes the video by saying: “We will not rest until full and equal rights are a reality for everyone. History proves that the march toward equality and justice will overcome barriers of intolerance and discrimination. But it requires a concerted effort from all of us. No matter how long the road ahead, I’m confident that we will travel it successfully together.
Wherever you are celebrating this month, I wish you a happy Pride.”
