31. Cut the crap -- here's her statement on DOMA

"Sen. Clinton believes that each state should make its own decisions regarding marriage or civil unions, but once a state legalizes such relationships, these relationships should receive full federal recognition and benefits," Ethan Geto, Clinton's senior national adviser on LGBT issues, wrote in an email to The Advocate.

"As several states have legalized gay marriage or civil unions, Sen. Clinton has come to believe that the restrictions imposed by DOMA on federal government recognition of same-sex relationships are unfair."
