Gay-lo and behold! In a new video, Hillary Clinton officially came out in support of gay marriage:
BREAKING — VIDEO: Hillary Clinton announces her support for gay marriage – http://t.co/80mIwaENnC

This is, of course, a truly unprecedented event, and one that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that when it comes to gay rights, liberals are waaaaay ahead of conservatives.
Or not:

Exactly MT @eriContrarian: Years after Dick Cheney. MT @politico: Hillary announces her support for gay marriage http://t.co/yKygitKctB

In the hoopla around Hillary Clinton's support for gay marriage, remember: Dick Cheney and an Ohio Republican Senator supported it first.
— Mr. Media Training (@MrMediaTraining) March 18, 2013
Yep. In an op-ed last week, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, a Republican, revealed his support for same-sex marriage.
Just a reminder, liberals: Please note that Hillary Clinton came out in for gay marriage AFTER Dick Cheney and Rob Portman. Thx! Cheers!

With a little bit of mental acrobatics, though, libs found a way to attribute Portman’s evolution to conservatives’ hypocrisy and bigotry. Surely they’d bust Hillary’s chops for taking even longer to come around, right?

Will #p2 attack Hillary Clinton finally coming out on gay marriage like they did Rob Portman? I'm not asking for a friend, Im asking for me.

Now watch as the same people who mocked Portman last week laud Hillary for her politically calculated re-triangulation.

Of course Hillary Clinton supports the gays. She's amazing!! #ILoveHil

She is amazing! Not like that awful Portman guy.
@BruceBartlett Hillary also stated a yr ago as Sec of State that Gay Rights R Human Rights. Portman was not brave at all, his Son is.

No way. Hillary’s a special case, you guys. She’s a Democrat. That means she’s immune from criticism. It’s not about the journey; it’s about the destination! And she got there, eventually.

And, unlike Portman, Hillary did it for the right reasons:
Much more noble than Portman's reason, somehow: "politically it’s imperative for a Democratic presidential aspirant" http://t.co/urAkYNnX1v
— John Tabin (@johntabin) March 18, 2013
“Democratic presidential aspirant”? Hillary? Pffft! Crazy talk.
Great news that Hillary Clinton has come out in support of same sex marriage. Also shows that she may be positioning herself for 2016
— Dan Johnson (@danjayjohnson) March 18, 2013
Hillary Clinton states her gay marriage position. Sounds like she's all but thrown her hat in to the ring for 2016. Lookout republicans!
— Louis R. Perez (@safe321) March 18, 2013
If I had to summarize Hillary Clinton's gay marriage reversal in numerical sequence, it would look something like: 2016. Allegedly.
