Check this video out.

Kudos to Jason Bellini for at least asking the question. A pity he didn't bother to follow-up and press for an actual answer when Clinton completely ignored the actual question and went off about hate crimes. She didn't even have the courage to give a firm answer on that either, even though a trans-inclusive hates crimes has already passed both Houses of Congress. If anyone had a doubt about her lack of commitment to fighting for LGBT equality as President, here's the video evidence of her political cowardice in action.

Hill does not 'dodge' she triangulates.

Amen.  Her answers are devoid of the words 'Gay' 'Lesbian' 'Transgender', etc., but sound kinda, sorta supportive, if that's what you want to hear...

They sound sort-of, almost, what everyone wants to hear, without saying anything that people don't want to hear.  If she said the sun was yellow and the sky is blue, I'd go to the window to make sure.
