Hillary's gay 'nephew' speaks out [View all]

How does Hillary Clinton really feel about gay people?

Given that she became a supporter of equal marriage only a few years back and that she supported her husband’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” military policy, many have questioned where she truly stands on matters of importance to our community.

What we don’t often get to see, however, is the personal side of this conversation. But now Clinton’s ‘gay nephew’ is speaking out to paint a fuller picture of his “Aunt Hillary”.

Colin Ebeling is the son of Clinton’s childhood best friend, Betsy. The women met as sixth graders in Park Ridge, Illinois and graduated high school together in 1965. They remained close friends over the years and Clinton even spoke at Colin’s high school graduation.

In a Facebook post with over 5,000 shares already, Colin, a filmmaker, said that Clinton was very supportive of his sexuality and that she “congratulated me when I came out of the closet, when I got my pilot’s license, when I married my husband and when we adopted our baby girl.”
