Substitute "black" for "gay" or "old" or "woman" or "Jewish" or "Catholic" or "Muslim"...
Aside from racism and sexism, the pervasive bigotry around non-heterosexuality is disgusting already.
I am looking for a president with passion (check), policy ideas that I support (check), a true love of this country (check) AND its people of all races, incomes and any other labels (check).
I want a candidate that is demonstrably smarter and more even keel than me (BIG check on both for Pete!).
I do not care what he does in his personal life, I have no religious nonsense telling me to "hate the sin" or any other such ludicrous concept. I don't respect people of any race or creed that preach hate and division or isolation of the 'other'. I have no religion, but I find Mayor Pete's stated religious / spiritual values to be perfectly compatible with my secular values (which I CANNOT say for any version of evangelical, conservative Christianity at all).
I KNOW in my heart that I will die before the country elects an avowed atheist...but maybe a more toward a more humanitarian vision of Christ and his purported message would be as big a step in that direction as I will see...
Anyway, anyone trying to reach these Emmy-award winners shouldn't be under the illusions that they would vote for ANY Democratic candidate, not JUST the "gay one"...
