An interview with Hillary Clinton
Reiterates support for gay issues, knocks Obama over McClurkin flap

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) reiterated her "strong" support for a range of gay rights initiatives in an exclusive interview with the Washington Blade on Sunday.

She called for extending federal recognition to same-sex couples, repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and rejected claims that she doesn't speak forcefully enough on gay issues — something that supporters of rival Sen. Barack Obama have asserted during the campaign.
