[b]Is America ready to elect a gay president?[/b]

I think the kind of people who wouldn't vote for Pete Buttigieg because he's gay, wouldn't vote for him if he was straight either, because they won't ever vote for a Democrat. I also know conservatives who would support a gay Republican candidate, however. So I'm wondering if there are any liberals who would vote for Trump or would sit out the next election if Buttigieg is the Democratic nominee. And I mean, just because he's gay, not because you disagree with his policy positions.

@SW-User And what does that say about America? It's nothing to be proud of if a decent and capable man can't be elected because of something he does in private that has no effect on anything else.

@Lila15 If he is those things and he adopts the 'don't ask don't tell' mode, sure. But if he promotes and touts it, then no fecking way.

@SW-User He’s not keeping it a secret, but he’s not making a big deal about it either. It’s just part of who he is, like his hair color.
