With Regards To LGBT's T, Trying To Define "Change" This Election Year

Jason Bellini interviewed Hillary Clinton for Logo, and the video is up on 365Gay. Check out Hillary Clinton's evasive answer to transgender inclusion on ENDA at about 1:45 into the video. First of all, Bellini poses the question as a "personal position" question vice a question of what her "public policy" is going to be transgender inclusion in ENDA. But even when phrased that way, Sen. Clinton uses the words "hopefully" and "eventually" with regards to transgender inclusion...in hate crime legislation. In other words, she didn't answer even the poorly worded initial question before pivoting to "hopeful" and "eventual" inclusion of transgender protections in a hate crime bill. Perhaps even more telling is that in her entire answer, she again never utters the words "transgender" or "gender identity."
