In a historic video, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton officially voiced her support for gay marriage "personally and as a matter of policy and law." 

The nearly 6-minute clip was filmed as a part of the Human Rights Campaign, which is the largest LGBT advocacy groups in the country. In the video, Clinton states that the LGBT community is made up of people who are "full and equal citizens and deserve the rights of citizenship...that includes marriage. That’s why I support marriage for lesbian and gay couples."

No word on if Clinton is planning on running for president in 2016 when Obama's term is over, but this video certainly does a lot to fuel speculation that she will. President Obama similarly came out in support of same-sex marriage in May 2012, only a few months before he was re-elected as President of the United States.
