Clinton: Gay rights are human rights

希拉里：同性恋权也是人权

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today addressed a State Department audience on LGBT issues in the human rights work of the United States, declaring, “Let me say today that human rights are gay rights and gay rights are human rights, once and for all.”

美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿今日在国务院为“LGBT自豪月”举办的招待会上就美国人权工作中的LGBT问题发表了讲话，宣称：“从今天开始，人权就是同性恋权，同性恋权也是人权，再不更改。”

Clinton went on to detail specific LGBT-related efforts her department is engaged in around the world, most pointedly in Africa, where there has been a dramatic uptick in anti-LGBT rhetoric among government officials.

希拉里继续详细陈述了她的部门在全球范围内同性恋相关问题上所做的具体努力。这些努力大部分针对非洲。在那里，政府官员中反同性恋言论出现了激烈上扬。

Clinton then turned her attention to the professionals and State Department’s LGBT staffers in the room, thanking them for engaging in careers in diplomacy while being out and honest about themselves.  But she cautioned them not to delude themselves into thinking the fight for equality is over:

随后，她将目光转向专业人士和国务院的同性恋问题工作人员，感谢他们投身于民主事业的同时还忠于他们自己。但她也提醒他们不要自欺欺人地认为争取平等的战斗已经结束了。

“The struggle for equality is never, ever finished.  And it is rarely easy, despite how self-evident it should be.  But the hardest-fought battles often have the biggest impact.  So I hope that each and every one of us will recommit ourselves to building a future in which every person – every, single person can live in dignity, free from violence, free to be themselves, free to live up to their God-given potential wherever they live and whoever they are.”

“争取平等的斗争永远不会结束。不言而喻，这场斗争绝非易事。但最难的战役往往带来最具冲击力的效果。因此，我希望我们每一个人再次承诺建立一个美好的未来——每个人，无论他是谁，无论他生活在哪里，都可以有尊严地活着，远离暴力，自由地做自己，不辜负上帝赐予的天赋。”
