Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is announcing her support for gay marriage.
In an online video released Monday, Clinton says
gays and lesbians deserve "the rights of citizenship." She says "that
includes marriage."
Clinton's announcement puts her in line with other
potential Democratic presidential candidates for the 2016 election,
including Vice President Joe Biden and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio also announced his support for gay
marriage Friday.
