Susan Sarandon Slams Hillary Clinton on LGBT Rights

During a speech at Bernie Sander's Iowa rally on Thursday, January 28, actress Susan Sarandon called presidential candidate Hillary Clinton out on her history of LGBT rights, saying she was late to the party.

In an article in Pink News, Sarandon accused Clinton of voting for the Iraq War, taking Wall Street money, and "equivocating" on same-sex marriage.

"It's one thing to be for gay rights and gay marriage once everybody else is for it. That's not difficult," said Sarandon, calling Clinton a "johnny-come-lately" on marriage equality.

After her rousing speech, Sarandon, whose son Miles is identifies as genderfluid, continued her praise for the "untainted" Sanders, saying, "He has managed to consistently be on the right side of every issue the correct side of every issue that reflects my concerns."

"There's a number of issues where she has come around but she very clearly equivocated or was not there in the beginning," said Sarandon. "It's great that she came around, but wouldn't it be great to be a leader instead of a follower, especially if you're going to hold the highest office in the land?"

In an article in USA Today voter Kellie Craig, 52, of Forest City, Iowa, said she plans on caucusing for Sanders, choosing�him over Clinton because of his record.

"Hillary changes with the popular vote," Craig said. "A lot of the things that Bernie's been talking about, she's starting to talk about now."

Actress Susan Sarandon introduced Sanders in Mason City, saying she endorses him because of his consistency.

"For me, gender is not what's important. Issues are what's important," Sarandon said. "I want a candidate who has the courage to stand and do the right thing when it is not popular."
