At the outset of what I am going to say in this column, let me make one thing clear. I totally respect a person's right to live his or her life as he or she may choose, so long as no one is hurt as a result. And, that goes for someone's sexual preference, even though homosexuality is not endorsed in the Bible, and it is not my "cup of tea." But gay and lesbian people, I have found in my lifetime, are generally very nice and kind, and they have a right to be treated equally, not discriminated against. They should be frankly left alone to be what they want to be. That's called "freedom."

In today's world, it is no longer a social stigma to be gay or lesbian, and as a result the Supreme Court has even ruled that they constitutionally are to be accorded the right to marry each other. As a result, I have much less respect for those gays and lesbians who continue to live in the closet and hide their lifestyle, particularly when this happens for partisan political purposes. Case in point, one Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has apparently lied about her sexual preference for decades to help pave the way for her presidential candidacy.

In the 1990s, as you know, I represented nearly all of the women who had come forward to allege that they had been harassed, raped or had affairs with Mrs. Clinton's husband, Bill Clinton. I did not represent Gennifer Flowers, Dolly Kyle Browning (now Dolly Kyle), Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick on "sex stuff," but primarily because Hillary had put together a so-called "War Room," comprised of herself, James Carville and George Stephanopoulos, to try to destroy these women and as a warning to other women who might come forward to further disclose Slick Willy's sexual proclivities, to put it nicely. This was not because Hillary had great love for the future president, but to protect Hillary's own standing to one day run for the presidency.

In the course of representing Gennifer and Dolly in particular, two women Bill (Gennifer calls him "Bill") and Billy (Dolly calls him "Billy") had been having affairs with for years at the same time, they both told me that Hillary couldn't have cared less. Indeed, according to both Gennifer and Dolly, both of whom asked Bill/Billy why he would cheat on Hillary, the future president told them that this was because Hillary is "gay."

Then later, while I was the founder and head of Judicial Watch acting as counsel in a myriad of lawsuits to seek redress for the 40-plus scandals committed by the Bonnie and Clyde of American politics, a respected and famous left-wing investigative journalist named Seymour "Sy" Hersh sought me out to gather information for one of his new books. He wanted to obtain "inside information" about the burgeoning China-gate scandal. At Judicial Watch, we had uncovered that Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown was, at Hillary's direction, literally selling seats for $100,000 a pop on government trade missions to China and elsewhere, among other illegal deeds, to line the coffers of the Clinton-Gore 1996 re-election campaign and to finance the future Clinton Library, which was eventually to be built in Little Rock, Arkansas. Clinton and Gore, along with Hillary, also sold national security secrets to the Chinese, no small traitorous feat!

As Sy Hersh sat down with me in our small conference room at Judicial Watch, having first shaken my hand, with a wry smile he opened the conversation not only by thanking me for meeting with him (as he knew me to be a staunch conservative/libertarian), but by revealing something he must have thought I did not already know: "Hillary is gay, you know, and all the left knows this."

In response, I smiled and told him this was not news to me, although I have never publicized this to the media or anyone else. Indeed, in addition to Gennifer and Dolly, others had revealed the same thing – among them, Peter Paul, the entrepreneur who put on a multi-million dollar Hollywood tribute for Bill Clinton on the president's way out of the White House and who had revealed that the event was in fact an illegal fundraiser to garner cash for Hillary's later Senate run in New York. In the course of getting to know the Clintons, Paul had met some of Hillary's "girlfriends," he told me. In addition, White House whistleblowers who came forward to Judicial Watch to disclose that over a million emails had been hidden by Hillary and others – records that would likely implicate them in wrongdoing – also revealed that the first lady, according to what they had been told by Secret Service agents, "preferred women."

Notwithstanding this, at the height of the Clinton impeachment proceedings, Dick Morris, the foremost political adviser to Bonnie and Clyde, had – after he was cut loose from their political campaigns when he got enmeshed in his own sex scandal – as a final "favor" to them tried to soften the perception of the president's mistreatment of women and infidelities. He revealed that they were mostly caused by Hillary's sexual preference.

Indeed, that Hillary is a lesbian became so widely known, although no one would specifically talk about it, that the joke in Washington, D.C., at the time was: "What is the only thing that Bill and Hill have in common?" Answer: "They both date the same women!"

While I knew the names of some of these "women," I never revealed them publicly, although rumors abound. In recent years, Huma Abedin, the Palestinian wife of pervert Anthony Weiner and one of Hillary's top aides, has been one of those rumored to be "in bed" with Hillary. Indeed, this might help explain her marriage to disgraced former Rep. Weiner and why it did not end sooner for political reasons. But I do not make any accusations.

The real issue is why, in this age of widespread acceptability of the gay and lesbian lifestyle, and as Hillary asks for the vote of gays, lesbians and transgender people, would she, by material omission, continue to appear to hide her sexual preference? Is she ashamed of it, and if so, is she worthy of claiming to be the champion of gays, lesbians and transgenders?

I do not endorse any candidate for elective office and never have. But gays, lesbians and transgenders have to wonder why Hillary would call Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump a "racist" against people of an alternative lifestyle, and then continue to lie about her own sexuality. For gays, lesbians and transgenders, this is an affront to them personally. This continued deceitful hypocrisy by Hillary has to call into question her own commitment to gay, lesbian and transgender rights.
