DOMA was a way to stop a CONSTITUTIONAL amendment to ban gay marriage. They had to bite the bullet and pass it (bars FEDERAL and not state governments from recognizing marriages) or else Congress would freak and make it hard for gay marriage to exist in the US at all, even if states wanted to pass it individually.
Her foundation donated a lot to AIDS help and prevention.
She said on the record what 90% of the population agreed with in the 90s, but she never said anything homophobic and when she actually had the power to vote on a law barring same-sex marriage as a Senator, she voted to stop the anti-gay marriage law.
She spoke out against Don't Ask Don't Tell which was another compromise, GOP didn't want gays in the army at all and the Clintons put in a law that allows them to serve as long as they are quiet about their sexuality. In 99 while Bill was still serving she said DADT wasn't a good idea.
She's shifted toward more liberal LGBT stances over time and even in the 90s she was miles ahead of how the GOP opinion on LGBT is now in 2016
She's not Catholic, and LGBT rights are not getting overturned. 
but Trump is obviously not fit for Presidency I am so conflicted
