Hillary Clinton adopts same-sex-marriage Facebook avatar

Former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee frontrunner Hillary Clinton changed her Facebook avatar to a rainbow-flag version of her H-arrow campaign logo.

Oral arguments began Tuesday in the Supreme Court, which are expected to lead to a nationwide decision that could pave the way to legalized same-sex marriage.


The logo has also made its way to her Twitter avatar. Early Tuesday morning, she tweeted support for those arguing in favor of same-sex marriage.

Clinton spokesperson Adrienne Elrod told the Washington Blade earlier this month that Clinton would like to see same-sex couples marry legally around the country.

“Hillary Clinton supports marriage equality and hopes the Supreme Court will come down on the side of same-sex couples being guaranteed that constitutional right,” Elrod said in a statement to the Washington Blade, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender weekly newspaper headquartered in Washington, D.C.

Last summer in an interview with NPR, she said states should decide same-sex marriage.

“For me, marriage had always been a matter left to the states. And in many of the conversations that I and my colleagues and supporters had, I fully endorse the efforts by activists who work state-by-state and in fact that is what is working,” Clinton told Terry Gross on June 12, 2014.
