Bill Clinton, daughter endorse N.Y. marriage equality

Former President Bill Clinton has released a statement urging New York legislators to approve marriage rights for same-sex couples. 

"For more than a century, our Statue of Liberty has welcomed all kinds of people from all over the world yearning to be free. In the 21st century, I believe New York's welcome must include marriage equality," Clinton said. Clinton's daughter Chelsea also expressed support for marriage rights for gays and lesbians, adding that she hoped her straight friends would join her in speaking out. Gov. Andrew Cuomo is planning to travel the state to build support for a marriage-equality bill.

I've got mixed feelings on this. I mean, Clinton's the guy behind DOMA in the first place, right? So how much credit should he get for this and how much blame should he get for the whole mess in the first place?

Land Hudson talks about Bill Clinton

Blogger Lane Hudson, who interrupted a speech by former President Bill Clinton to ask about his role in signing into law both the Defense of Marriage Act and the military gay ban, talks about his reasons for putting Clinton the spot and whether he got the answers he sought.

"The point of my question was not to hash up something from 1993 or 1996," Hudson said. "It was to talk about now."
