Hillary Clinton: Not a Lesbian

20070307_clinton_260x220.jpgIt was really only a matter of time before Hillary broached the topic. And so today, news hit the papers that Hillary gave an interview to "The Advocate," wherein she was asked, point blank, whether or not she was a lesbian.

"It's not true, but it is something that I have no control over," she told Sean Kennedy.

There are a couple of things about this that made us pause, before the weekend. The first is that in the article, the point is raised that her opponents have often used the word "lesbian" when discussing Hillary. And while we understand that some folks have trouble with a strong straight woman, it took us back to high school. When we were accused of all sorts of things we didn't yet know about ourselves.

The sad fact of things is that, boy, some folks don't ever grow up.

The other thing that we were alternately proud of and sad about, was CNN's "ticker" story about the news. Wherein this line was printed: "Kennedy tells CNN he asked Clinton about the rumors because 'they are a point of solidarity between her and the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community.'"

A few weeks ago, John McCain admitted to the press that he hadn't, until his encounter with a brave high school boy last week, known what LGBT stands for. Good heavens, do we take for granted our politically-lumping-into-a-group anagram? Have they always been spelling it out for our grandparents like that?
