Hillary Clinton 01

a little over year ago in Geneva, I told the nations of the world that gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights and that the United Stated would be a leader in defending those rights .
Now there were some countries that did not want to hear that. But I believe America is at best when we champion the freedom and dignity of every human being that's who we are . It's in our DNA and as Secretary of State , I had privilege to represent that America
I will never forget the young Tunisian , Who ask me after the revolution in his country . How America could teach his new democracy /di'mɔkrəsi/ to protect th rights if its LGBT citizens . He saw America as an example for the world, and as a beacon of hope . that's what was in my mind as I engaged in some tough /tʌf/  conversations with foreign leaders who did not accept that human rights apply to everyone , gay and straight. when I directed our diplomats around the world to combat /'kɔmbət/ repressive /ri'presiv/ laws and reach out to the brave  brave /breiv/ activities fighting on the front-line. And when I changed State Department policy  to ensure that our LGBT families are treated more fairly.
Traveling the world these past four years reaffirmed  /¸ri:ə´fə:m/ and deepened /di:pn/ my pride /praid/ in our country and the ideals /aɪˈdiəl, aɪˈdil/ we stand for. It also inspired /ɪnˈspaɪərd/ (đầy cảm hứng) and challenged me to think anew /əˈnu , əˈnyu/ (lại 1 lần nữa, bằng cách khác) about who we are and the values we represent to the world. Now having left public office , i want to share some of what I've learned and what I've come to believe.
For America to continue leading in the world . there is work we must do here at home , that means investing in our people , our economy, our national security . It also means working everyday, as citizens, as communities. as a country to live up to our highest ideals.

and continue our long march (mɑ:tʃ cuộc hành quân, quãng đường hành quân) to more perfect  union (/'ju:njən/ đoàn kết, kết hôn)
.
LGBT Americans are our colleagues, our teachers, our soldiers /'souldʤə/, our friends, our loved ones,
And they are full and equal (/´i:kwəl/ bình đẳng ) citizens and they deserve (di'zз:v/ xứng đáng) the rights of citizenship (/´sitizənʃip/ quyền công dân). That includes marriage /ˈmærɪdʒ/ . That why I support marriage for lesbian or gay couples. I support personally and at a matter of policy and law embedded in a broader effort to advance equality /i:kwɔliti/ and opportunity for LGBT Americans and all Americans.
like so many others, my personal views have been shaped over time by people I have know and loved.
By my experience representing our nation on the world stage, my devotion (di'vouʃn/ sự tận lòng, tận tâm) to law and human rights, and the guiding principles of my faith (/feiθ/ niềm tin, sự tin cậy, đức tin).
Marriage after all is a fundamental building block of our society , a great joy and yes, a great responsibility.
A few years ago , Bill and I celebrated /'selibreit/ as our own /oʊn/ daughter married the love of her life and I wish every parent the same joy (Niềm vui, sự hận hoan). to deny that opportunity to any of our daughters and sons solely (đơn độc ) on the basis of who they are and who they love is to deny them the chance to live up to their own God-given (Đức Chúa Trời ban tặng) potential .
Throughout our history, as our nation has become even more dedicated to the protection of liberty and justice (/'ʤʌstis/ sự công bằng, công lý) for all, more open to contributions of all our citizens, it has also become stronger, more competitive, more ready for the future it benefits /'benɪfɪt/ (giúp ích cho) very American when we continue on that path.
I know that many in our country are still struggle (/'strʌg(ә)l/ đấu tranh, chống lại) to reconcile /´rekən¸sail/ (hòa giải) the teachings of their religion (giáo lý  tôn giáo của họ), the pull of (thu hút, kéo) their conscience/'kɔnʃns/ (tín ngưỡng, lương tâm), and the personal experiences they have in their families and communities . And people of good (rộng lượng, tốt) will and good faith will continue to view this issue differently .
So I hope that as we discuss and debate/dɪˈbeɪt/ (thảo luận, tranh cãi). whether it's around a kitchen table or in the public square , we do so in a spirit /ˈspɪrɪt/ (tâm hồn, linh hồn) of respect and understanding. Conversation with our friends , our families, our congregations/¸kɔηgri´geiʃən/ (giáo đoàn, sự tập hợp), our coworkers are opportunities to share our own reflections (sự suy nghĩ, sự phản ánh) and to invite others to share their . They  us a change to find that common ground and a path forward .
For those of us who live through the long years of the civil rights and woman's rights movements, the speed with which more and more people have come to embrace (/im'breis/ ôm, nắm lấy thời cơ) the dignity and equality of LGBT American has been breathtaking(hấp dẫn, ngoạn mục) and inspiring /ɪn'spaɪərɪŋ/(truyền cảm, gây cảm hứng) . we see it all around us every day , in major cultural statements and in quiet  family moments . But the journey /ˈdʒɜːrni/ is far from over and therefore /'ðeəfɔ:(r)/ we must keep working to make our country freer and fairer, and to continue to inspire the faith the world put in our leadership. In doing so, we will keep moving closer and closer to that more perfect union promised to us all.
Thank you !
