Hillary Clinton addresses gay teen suicide

by PageOneQ

Senator Hillary Clinton, during a question-and-answer session, addresses the following question submitted over the Internet:

"Considering the extraordinarily high incidence of depression and suicide among gay teenagers, what action will you, as President, take to encourage a more accepting and healthy educational experience for LGBT teens?"

Clinton says she sympathizes with the burdens LGBT teens face, mentally and emotionally, and says that she, as President, would support a community in which its members are valued and supported as whole people.

In schools, Clinton calls for mentoring and health programs, along with efforts to instill understanding and tolerance among administration and students to combat bullying and foster acceptance.

The entire video, posted to YouTube by the Hillary Clinton for President Committee, is available to view below. Footage of the above question begins at the 3:20 mark.
