Times change. In June 1992, Bill Clinton became the first major presidential candidate to address an event put on by a gay/lesbian group. It was at Hollywood's Pantages Threatre and (back in the day) purposely scheduled to miss the (East Coast-based) national newscasts. — PolitiTweet.org

I covered both of Clinton's presidential campaigns, the run-up to 1992 and many of his appearances since, and the speech he gave at the Pantages -- buried to minimize coverage -- was perhaps the best I've ever seen him give. — PolitiTweet.org
