Former First Daughter is a special correspondent for the network's news division
Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former US President Bill Clinton and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had her ads in support of gay marriage pulled by NBC News.
Buzzfeed.com reports that because Clinton works as a special correspondent for NBC, the network scuttled plans by backers of Washington state's marriage equality bill R-74 to use an ad by Clinton.
The video wasn’t intended for TV broadcast and were apparently to be used as web videos. It was to be used for several different marriage equality campaigns.
Earlier this year, Clinton spoke out against North Carolina's anti-gay Amendment One. The bill, which was passed by voters, bans that state from recognizing civil unions, strip away domestic partner benefits and could eliminate legal protections for all unmarried couples in the state.
'I believe that everyone must stand up for what is right, whenever possible, wherever possible,' Clinton said at the time. 'I also believe that when the civil rights of any one American or group of Americans in one place are questioned, all Americans, everywhere, should care that the answer is the right one. Those are lessons I learned at a young age from my parents and they are guiding principles in my life.'
On 6 November, voters in Washington, Maine and Maryland approved bills that made same-sex marriage legal in their state while Minnesota voters rejected a bill that would have banned such unions.
