Hillary Clinton’s Commitment to LGBTQ Equality Front and Center in New HRC Campaign Video Ad

Today, HRC released a new video ad featuring Hillary Clinton’s historic commitment to fighting for full LGBTQ equality.

“Time and again Hillary Clinton has demonstrated through her words and actions that she is committed to fighting for full LGBTQ equality,” said HRC President Chad Griffin. “All of the progress we’ve achieved is at stake in this election. While Donald Trump continues his hate-filled campaign and threatens to drag us backwards, Hillary Clinton will fight to break down the walls of discrimination that still hold us back. It’s crucially important that pro-equality Americans turn out and vote for Hillary Clinton as the next President of the United States.”

In the video, Hillary says, “We need to build an America where no one has to worry that they can get married on Saturday and be fired on Monday; where kids aren’t bullied just because of who they are; and where every American has the chance to live up to his or her God-given potential, no matter who they are or who they love.”

Watch the video here.

In addition to her long record as a champion for LGBTQ rights both in the U.S. and around the globe, Hillary Clinton has proposed the most robust pro-LGBTQ equality agenda of any presidential candidate in history. She has called the Equality Act her “highest priority,” and her detailed LGBTQ policy platform specifically calls for outlawing dangerous “conversion therapy” for minors, ending the epidemic of transgender violence, and supporting HIV prevention and affordable treatment, among other proposals that would advance equality and support the LGBTQ community.

The new video is part of HRC’s unprecedented digital campaign in a get-out-the-vote effort aimed at more than 2 million potential pro-equality voters nationwide.

Donald Trump Booed for Caustic ‘Jokes’ about Hillary Clinton at Al Smith Dinner: WATCH

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton appeared together again tonight at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York, an annual white tie gala benefiting Catholic charities at which tradition dictates that presidential candidates poke fun at one another in a humorous and jovial manner during their speeches.

Trump was roundly booed when 10 minutes into his speech, his jokes turned caustic.

Is anyone surprised that Trump didn’t get the memo? Or rather that he chose to ignore it?

Said Trump: “Hillary is so corrupt that she got kicked off the Watergate commission.”

LGBT Movies Galore: Moonlight, The Handmaiden, and NewFest

Don’t Call Me Son, The Pass, The Handmaiden, and Moonlight. So many LGBT films this week!

Sing the following to the tune of Kylie Minogue’s “Your Disco Needs You”:

♫ Queer movies, Queer movies, Queer movies need you!
Queer movies, Queer movies, Queer movies need you!♫

If there was ever a weekend to get your gay ass to the movie theaters it’s this one. The choices are suddenly abundant and very pleasurable… at least on the coasts (consider this a November preview if you’re further inland).

This is a crucial moment because we get not one but two new must-see art films, Moonlight and The Handmaiden, which couldn’t be more different but for their immense quality. Together they remind us of the range and diversity and aesthetic power that queer cinema is capable of. They’re also both platform releases and how well such releases do and how many cities they expand to always comes down to us; if we don’t support LGBT cinema we eventually get much less of it.

On top of these two arguably masterworks, those near New York City have even more options because NewFest opens today and runs through the 25th.

Chiron’s first gay experience in “Moonlight”

Must See #1 Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight
We’ve already warned you that Moonlight is an Oscar contender (see our Best Picture preview) but the excitement is growing as more people get a chance to see this remarkable picture. Even the queen herself, Madonna, was just raving about it on Instagram! Critics are saying it’s a rich original film about growing up gay and black. That’s true. The film will provoke many identity politics discussions, but it’s so much more than that. The director Barry Jenkins’ artistry is so strong that the film is universally relatable to the gay experience.

Expect an Oscar nomination for Naomie Harris

Moonlight, which is told in three acts, has a stunning bruised beauty throughout. We watch, aching, as “Chiron,” a black boy with a homophobic addict mother (Naomie Harris, ferocious and revelatory) struggles to grow up and come to grips with his sexuality at different stages in his life. It’s one of the first “coming of age” films to understand that coming of age isn’t as automatic as the term applies. You don’t just arrive there through the passage of time, you actually have to decide who you are.

The incredibly twisty tale of two girls in love (and lust) in The Handmaiden

Must See #2  Park Chan Wook’s The Handmaiden
Park Chan Wook is best known in the States for the ultra violent cult hit Old Boy. The one thing that unites all of his outre films, though, is that they’re ravishingly sensual experiences. You can practically taste, smell, and hear every last inch of them.

The director has really outdone himself with The Handmaiden, a superb, funny, and strange adaptation of the Victorian lesbian novel “Fingersmith.” He reworks the story into a crazily erotic stylized costume drama set in 1930s Korea in which a thief masquerading as a ladies maid falls in love with her mark, the fragile wealthy Lady Hideko. Lady Hideko can drive men wild merely by reading to them (the reading sequences in something like a library/dungeon are out of this world amazing).

I don’t want to spoil a single wonderfully odd moment but you may never hear bells, see octopuses, or think of personal libraries in quite the same way again after this unforgettable movie.

A still from the film “Retake”, one of dozens of new gay features playing at NewFest

Must See #3 NEW FEST
New York City’s LGBT film festival NewFest just opened with a Voice & Visibility Award for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star Tituss Burgess and the Opening Night Film The Pass starring out hunk Russell Tovey. Also among this year’s entrants is the film Retake, produced by Towleroad’s own Sean Mandell. The festival runs through October 25th – you can see the full lineup here. A wide variety of wonderful LGBT films awaits you!
