Clinton has publicly stated her support for the Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 law that gives states the option of not recognizing another state's same-sex "marriages" and prevents the federal government from recognizing them as well.

She did, however, oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Alan Van Capelle, executive director of the homosexual group Empire State Pride Agenda, called her a "complete disappointment" who "does not deserve an LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) fund-raiser." The story was reported in the March 24, 2006 edition of the New York Observer's "The Politicker."
