1. October is LGBT History Month and this is one of my favorite speeches.
   When I stand on campus with my posters and flyers advocating for LGBT
   rights, people assume that I MUST be a lesbian. Why? “Gay rights are human
   rights and human rights are gay rights.” These rights are one and the
   same. I’m not simply advocating for gay rights, I’m advocating for human
   rights for all. #lgbt #equality

2. If you haven’t seen/heard Hillary’s speech on Human Rights I highly
   recommend it.

3. I love her

4. Wonder Woman.

15. I like Hillary Clinton today.

16. listen…..

17. We can be so good sometimes – it makes the hypocrisy so much harder to deal
    with sometimes.

19. This speech by Hillary Clinton is a tour de force – I feel humbled and
    moved. Put the kettle on, get comfy and settle down to watch a speech that
    every human being should hear.

20. After the end of apartheid, South Africa strove to come up with the perfect
    new constitution, one that discriminated against no group. Thereafter, to
    the surprise of many, gay rights were also ensured. In freeing the
    majority, this heavily persecuted minority were also ‘accidentally’ freed
    too. The UN also set itself the guideline of equal rights for all and this
    week, in an astonishing speech, Hillary Clinton spoke to them about what
    human rights really mean. I think everyone, no matter their personal views,
    should watch this. http://youtu.be/MudnsExyV78

22. that’s more like it

23. *Gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights.*

    She’s right. No doubt about it.
