I most definitely would not vote for anyone who called someone a queer!
Depends on a lot more than them being gay.
We probably already have had one. Many historians think President Buchanan was gay and there is some debate about Lincoln as well.
Lincoln was just very tall, so he had a wide stance.
Christianity teaches homosexuality is immoral and I doubt Carter would support a candidate who beats his spouse or has a drug addiction but he is all for a homosexual which is hypocritical but to an extent we are all that way because most of us myself included will bash a dumb smoker as we throw back a Big Mac and a shake
What a question! Are you this politically incorrect about everything?! This forum needs to be taken down immediately!
PC can kiss my sweet butt.
Being PC is another term for sugar coating or lying..right on Jennifer

Thats funny. Where have you been for the last 60 years? The USA has seen a lot of progress during that time, and LGBT is no longer an issue in most of America. AlObama is always last in everything, though.
I could be PI and call you what you really are, but I won't give you that satisfaction! You know what they say about outwardly homophobic people.

JJPaul CHECK AGAIN...NO STATE has ever voted to approve gay marriage
Being married is not a requirement for election to President.
First I'm not homophobic. IF you want to be so PC you can't even have a discussion have at it. I posted that it would depend on more than them being gay. Translation for the reading comprehension impaired: I wouldn't vote for them simply because they were gay, or to make some sort of statement. I'd have to agree with their political views.quote:Originally posted by overtherainbow:

Jennifer - my original statement was not meant for you, it was for matted down weirdo and I stand by it.
Apoligies to you then. But PC can still kiss my butt.quote:Originally posted by overtherainbow:

Could you be a little more specific? I'm not sure I know what you are asking.
This little poll will be answered by only a few normal people. But will be jumped all over by the homosexuals on this forum.Thus nothing can be read into the outcome.
To themax
The majority of those responding to this forum are more than likely NOT homosexual. I, for one, am not. I simply take offense to the mean-spirited use of the word "queer". If the originator had not meant to be mean-spirited and offensive, he would have used a more acceptable word. And you know I am right.

A gay/lesbian candidate would mess up the current mindset of the politicos. There are only about 7 states in play in any election, and they are the ones that do the deciding. AlObama will be electing the Repub candidate in 2012, no matter who is running. OBama will spend even less money in AlObama than he did last cycle, if that is even possible, even though he is planning on spending $1billion on his campaign.
This question is flawed to begin with, given that it used an offensive term.
And it needs nuancing.
First off, I would not make sexual orientation (other than pedophilia or sexual violence) to be a factor in my voting choice.
It would be whether or not the candidate's views are those I'm comfortable with, or not.
As far as I'm concerned, who, how, and how often he or she goes to bed with is his business only.

Gotta take this shot at you men. Unless it was a lesbian porn star. Then she'd get every male vote out there. I know how you guys operate.
Would I vote for a queer for president? Only if he promises to wear skinny jeans and blast this out of the speakers in the West Wing while foreign dignitaries are visiting the White House. 
Some of you have got to get over your hang-up about homosexuals. There are more "out" there than you think.
J. Edgar Hoover's door was supposedly caught swinging both ways, and the actor who played Grandpa Walton from The Waltons (Will Geer) even played for both teams. Geer was a liberal and a social activist, and I've read numerous times that he had an affair with gay activist Harry Hay in the 1930s. As an aside, Geer obtained a master's degree in Botany from the University of Chicago (bet you didn't know that).
The point is, as someone said earlier, we've probably already had a gay president - or at least a bisexual one. You're not going to stop people from being gay because gay people have been around forever. And the fact that we're still deciding whether or not gays should have the right to serve in the military is ridiculous. Anyone who wants to fight for this country should have the right to do so, regardless of sexual orientation.

From what I have heard, J Edgar was not bi, he was completely homosexual. Carried his boyfriend around with him in his limo.

You are a pitiful slave to stereotyping. I would never vote for some sleazy porn star--no more than I would vote for a ditzy former Governor of Alaska and you can bet that butt of yours that you seem so fixated on that I would NEVER in a million eons vote for Palin.

C'mon Butter, say it ain't so. Not Grandpa Walton

Christianity may teach that homosexuality is immoral, but Christ never said anything about it. Christianity teaches a lot that Christ wouldn't approve of. Many Christians, and a few on here, are embarrassing to him.

Really? Next time you're having a dialog, ask Him what he thinks about Steven Tyler replacing Simon Cowell on "American Idol". Since I don't watch, I can't possibly make divination and claim to speak for Him. Although that never seems to be an obstacle for so many folks.

I agree with Jennifer. Further, I hold the opinion that "Political correctness" is vile. It is an attempt to control others by those who think they have a right to NOT be offended, or have their feelings hurt. The use of coercion and legal contortions is nothing more than an assault on individuality and a precursor to having "thought police". The "useful idiots" have been working on this for a long time.

Giot news for you, Ms. Proudbutt--
I am as straight as they come and I know lots of decent straight men who would have nothing to do with any porn star. Maybe the crowd you run with are depraved libertines and you are over-relating to that scuzzy corner of sub-humanity.

"Goit" news for me have you? You're as straight as they come huh? LOL! Oh come on now Mr. Fancypants. I don't "run" with anyone sissypoo. You have friends? Now why don't I believe that? Go do your nails and calm down. "Goit" that?
Statistics say 1 in 10 are gay. Since about 20 have posted on this subject which 2 of you are gay, not counting betternu?

Yours is by far the most comprehensibly reasonable analysis.
Maybe lingerie headgear helps you think clearly.
In states where it is legal for same sex to marry, can anyone explain why shouldn't brothers be allowed to marry? Or sisters ? Or nephew/uncle?, or father /son?
Just because it's all right in your family doesn't make it ok in mine.
