Relationships and benefits: HRC comes through

John Aravosis at Americablog shares a good statement from Hillary.  Good for her!  She was on the Tyra Banks show.  You can read it here.


HRC: That's right. I believe the benefits are yours and you ought to be able to give them and pass them on to whomever you choose. Also, as we begin to see different states making these decisions, civil unions, domestic partners and, marriage, the federal government ought to make all of the benefits through Social Security and other programs available to any legally recognized relationship and I intend to do that.

Wonderful news. Clinton seems to be moving away from at least some of the policies of the DLC folks, who are, too often, the bane of my existence.

Moving on down to your earlier post on Bishop Mwamba of Botswana - he seems a true man of God. African Anglicanism is not monolithic. We must remember that.
