Clinton wins Texas, Ohio

The fight for votes from the LGBT community was very much part of the Texas and Ohio primaries Tuesday, March 4, and the eventual victor in those Democratic contests, Senator Hillary Clinton, went an extra mile to win them.
Clinton gave a joint telephone interview February 27 to the Dallas Voice in Texas, the Gay People's Chronicle in Cleveland, and Outlook Weekly in Columbus, Ohio.
