I was just listening to Larry King Live
I learn new things about Hillary's early childhood all the time that I find interesting.

There was a couple on, the Dysons', Rev. Dyson is a Hillary supporter and her husband is an Obama supporter.

Rev. Dyson was telling a story about Hillary growing up. Her father was a staunch Republican and as she left home and went to college she began to change her party affiliation to the democratic party her father accepted her change.

Hillary's father's business partner was an AA during the early years of racial inequality and during the civil rights movement. She also said Hillary's father's doctor was gay. Now that is interesting because back in those days people who were openly gay were ostracized. I think what started to change for the GLBT's in the late 60's early 70's was Stonewall.

These are little footnotes we never hear about Hillary and she never really talks much about her early life and I think it's important to get to know her a little better.

Now, I think she's from Chicago and I think coming from a metropolitan city people of race, gender and sexual orientation were much more accepted in the 60'sand 70's.
