gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights

"Some have suggested that gay rights and human rights are separate and distinct; but, in fact, they are one and the same. ... gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights." - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a speech at the United Nations human rights programs headquarters earlier this month, in honour of the International Human Rights Day.

i'm in awe, i would not have expected such a clear message on gay rights from the US Secretary of State. my respect, and i applaud to a speech that is well worth listening to or reading through the transcript.
