This link is to msnbc - the clip from Rachel Maddow today about Ms Clinton. The part about Malawi is just over half way in to the video. It sucks, but you have to watch a commercial first.
Hillary Clinton's speech has already had positive effect. The country of Malawi in southeast Africa today announced that in light of chaniging world opinion, they would review their harsh attitude toward homosexuality. Harsh is putting it mildly!
In early 2010, a gay male couple was sentenced to 14 year hard labor when their engagement/marriage became public knowledge. Some mnoths later, following visits to Malawi president Mutharika by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the men were granted a pardon, "not because they weren't guilty, but for humanitarian reasons."
Hillary you ROCK!
Smooches,
Keri
