STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Washington (CNN) -- Users of Grindr, the leading gay hookup app, have voted Hillary Clinton their "Straight Ally of the Year."
The former secretary of state joins a slate of other noteworthy figures highlighted in Grindr's 'Best of Awards' for 2014, including Neil Patrick Harris (voted "Gay Icon of the Year" for the second year in a row) and Vladimir Putin (voted "Enemy of the LGBT Community").
While Clinton's team has not responded to request for comment, it seems likely she would welcome the positive reaction from Grindr's gay users.
Clinton did not publicly support same-sex marriage until last year, after she stepped down as secretary of state. During a testy interview with National Public Radio this summer, she said she couldn't wade into politics while serving in what is supposed to be an apolitical position and, before that, to her upbringing to explain her lack of support for same-sex marriage.
"I did not grow up even imagining gay marriage and I don't think you probably did either," Clinton told NPR's Terry Gross.
"This was an incredibly new and important idea that people on the front lines of the gay rights movement began to talk about and slowly but surely convinced others of the rightness of that position. And when I was ready to say what I said, I said it," Clinton said, pushing back on the suggestion that she supported same-sex marriage but was waiting for it to be politically advantageous position to take.
Grindr users "Biggest prediction for 2015" is that Clinton will announce her presidential campaign, a move that is all but certain now that Clinton's timeline for an announcement appears to be slipping toward the spring.

Here is a headline that you might see in an ad from a Democratic presidential candidate running against Hillary Clinton:
This comes courtesy of CNBC, which commissioned a poll asking 500 people "with investable assets of $1 million or more" (this is one poll that, safe to say, we'd all like to be a part of) which of nine potential presidential candidates they prefer. And it has been bouncing around social media this week as we all feverishly try to imagine a scenarioin which Clinton might actually not beat the motley crew of Democrats who will run against her.
How could Sen. Elizabeth Warren see thisand notimmediately decide to forma presidential exploratory committee, you might ask.
This poll is also far less than meets the eye.
Here are the choices offered, along with what percentage of the vote each candidate got:
First of all, yes, Clinton is No. 1. This is also not how people are going to vote for the new president. The only place where this kind of election takes place is Louisiana, and even then, there's a two-candidate runoff if nobody gets to 50 percent.
Clinton especially benefits from this format because:
1) She's more well-known than the other candidates, save Vice President Biden. The rest of the field, quite simply, aren't household names.
2) While the Democrat/Republican split is pretty even overall, Clinton is far more of a favorite on the Democratic side. Hence, she takes 72 percent of Democrats -- aboutlike she does in primary polling -- whilethe Republicans all split up the vote pretty evenly -- Jeb Bush at 36 percent, Chris Christie at 19 percent, Scott Walker at 18 percent. Clinton's share of the overall total is thus inflated.
3) There are more Republicans than Democrats. Yes, it probably only makes a small difference, but there are threeDemocrats, one Democratic-caucusing independent/socialist senator, and five Republicans. Again, that's more people splitting up one party's vote.
