As the first <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">woman<\/a> to secure the nomination of a major political party, she has shattered barriers that have persisted since this country&rsquo;s founding. She has also laid out the most ambitious agenda for LGBTQ equality that our nation has ever seen from a presidential candidate. With Donald Trump threatening to roll back all the progress our community has made under President Obama, the stakes for millions of LGBTQ Americans couldn&rsquo;t be higher in this election &#8212; and our choice on November 8 couldn&rsquo;t be clearer.&rdquo; Secretary Clinton has made LGBTQ equality a pillar of her campaign &#8212; and her detailed LGBTQ policy platform specifically <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">calls<\/a> for dropping the ban on open transgender military service, outlawing dangerous &ldquo;conversion therapy&rdquo; for minors, ending the epidemic of transgender violence and supporting HIV prevention and affordable treatment, among other proposals that would advance equality. Clinton&rsquo;s agenda and record of achievement starkly contrasts that of Donald Trump, who <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hrc.org\/blog\/four-ways-donald-trump-would-roll-back-lgbt-equality-as-president\" target=\"_blank\">has vowed to roll back and block LGBTQ equality at every turn.<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clinton racked up primary wins<\/strong> last night in California, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota, locking down 2,755 pledged and superdelegates, 571 more than needed to secure the nomination.

Moore was suspended last month over his defiance of federal marriage equality rulings and given 30 days to respond. In typical fashion however, he asked for a two-week extension to respond, and the request was granted yesterday by Michael Joiner, chief judge of Alabama&rsquo;s Court of the Judiciary.
