Hillary Clinton opposed a State Department effort to discard the words "mother" and "father" in favor of more LGBT-inclusive language.
"Who made the decision that State will not use the terms 'mother and father's and instead substitute parent one and parent two'?" an angry Clinton demanded in a January 2011 email. "I'm not defending that decision, which I disagree with and knew nothing about..."
"I could live with letting people in non-traditional families choose another description so long as we retained the presumption of mother and father," she added.

The email was released in the latest batch of Clinton communications the State Department made public.
