would YOU BE OK with a HOMOSEXUAL/LGBT becoming mayor, governor, or president?

Question

would YOU BE OK with a HOMOSEXUAL/LGBT becoming mayor, governor, or president?

Answer 1

I care for as long they support the good moral issue of the society.



And some will just tell you a story like this one:



I would have no issues with a homosexual person being elected into any office as long as they are serious about making changes and fixing problems. However.......everybody knows at least 1 homosexual who is a flaming fairy! We all love them cause they're so much fun, but they would never be able to earn or gain the respect needed to be taken seriously and would end up failing miserably even if their ideas and actions would have brought big changes. They would not be given the chance to be heard



and this one:





It depends on the individual. Some LGBT individuals could do just as well as political leaders as the "straight" political leaders we've had, IMO. Others would be terrible.



As far as I know, the great Italian Renaissance sculptor Michaelangelo was gay or bisexual. So was Alexander the Great, one of the most effective military leaders in world history. At least some of the famous philosophers of ancient Greece were LGBT. So was Turing, the guy whose ideas inspired the development of computers. And I think Barney Frank, an openly gay liberal congressman, really did do a pretty good job in trying to reregulate the banking system, after some big macho Republican lawmakers with the help of the Clinton White House deregulated the banks and helped set the stage for the 2008 financial crash.



OTOH, there are gay politicians who I believe would do a terrible job in office. We need to know more about their policies and personalities before we decide whether to vote for them or not.

Answer 2

At least some of the famous philosophers of ancient Greece were LGBT. So was Turing, the guy whose ideas inspired the development of computers. And I think Barney Frank, an openly gay liberal congressman, really did do a pretty good job in trying to reregulate the banking system, after some big macho Republican lawmakers with the help of the Clinton White House deregulated the banks and helped set the stage for the 2008 financial crash. The fact that you even need to ask that shows you shouldn't be voting, you are the type of person to vote Obama, an absolutely terrible president into office not once but twice simply because he his black. I have a gay uncle who works in real estate and two happily married gay aunts who work in computer software. But first and foremost, he is a Realtor and they are software developers, and they are good at what they do. The gayness doesn't even factor into that. Frankly if it did, that would make their careers infinitely more questionable.

Answer 3

It all depends on their agenda. I don't want a Mayor or President to act as a LGBT activist while in public office. Just as I wouldn't want a minority Mayor or President to act as a civil rights activist for their own particular group.



I believe it's important for public officials to put their causes aside while in office and represent everyone as a whole... Equally. However, I find it hard to believe an LGBT advocate would be able or willing to do so understanding their influence as well as the pushback from the LGBT community if they didn't do so.

Answer 4

Being a member of the LBGT community says nothing about your ability to hold public office. So yeah, I'd be totally okay with it. Their sexuality is irrelevant.

Look at the f-ing mess the straight ones have made.

People were saying they'd be afraid of an LGBT mayor/governor/president's agenda. Okay, what about Trump's clear, self-serving agenda? I guess it doesn't matter because he's straight.

Ugh.

Answer 5

It depends on the individual. Some LGBT individuals could do just as well as political leaders as the "straight" political leaders we've had, IMO. Others would be terrible.

Answer 6

Why would it matter? Yes people will say rude things, but people say rude things about everyone and everything. I wouldnt mind having a lgbt president or mayor or whatever as long as they focused on our society and what needs to be fixed in it. If they helped people and took care of the country I think it wouldn't matter.

Answer 7

I would have no issues with a homosexual person being elected into any office as long as they are serious about making changes and fixing problems. However.......everybody knows at least 1 homosexual who is a flaming fairy! We all love them cause they're so much fun, but they would never be able to earn or gain the respect needed to be taken seriously and would end up failing miserably even if their ideas and actions would have brought big changes. They would not be given the chance to be heard

Answer 8

Nope, I'd rather have a monkey as mayor/governor/president than a lower life form such as an homosexual or LGBT.

Answer 9

I would have a problem with T, not so much with LGB. History has probably had quite a number of great leaders that were LGB. Frederick the Great and James I come to mind. We may have already had a President who was gay, and as far as other types of politicians it has already happened multiple times and probably even more than anyone knows for sure.



I don't think it matters except as a point of blackmail. As long as one is not PREDATORY in one's sexuality it really is no one else's business, and certainly sexual predators is a group that includes all sexual orientations.

Answer 10

Yeah, I would.



I used to live in Salt Lake City. The new mayor there happens to be a lesbian. But she's a mayor, first. Since I liked her platform, I probably would have voted for her if I still lived in city limits.



I live out in the 'burbs now. We've had the same mayor for ages. His "signature" is his 'stache. I'm getting tired of seeing it on election posters every time elections roll around.

Answer 11

Yes, I'd be fine with it. Although not a mayor, governor, or president, Tim Cook is CEO of Apple, is gay, and does a great job. It's not a relevant factor, any more than what someone's favorite color is.

Answer 12

Touchy let's say he's qualified for the job right but what would happen if an openly gay President kisses his partner on live TV in front of millions of people or when he's with other World leaders?



You better believe it would be controversial and open up a stormy debate with people who are ok with that and others who aren't.

Answer 13

If they did and they somehow thought their sexuality was relevant to governing whatever district they are meant to govern then no. I don't have a problem with it, but it is irrelevant and frankly sexual politics has ******* nothing to do with regular politics and the moment you think it does, your priorities are completely fucked up and you should not be in a position of power. The fact that you even need to ask that shows you shouldn't be voting, you are the type of person to vote Obama, an absolutely terrible president into office not once but twice simply because he his black. I have a gay uncle who works in real estate and two happily married gay aunts who work in computer software. But first and foremost, he is a realtor and they are software developers, and they are good at what they do. The gayness doesn't even factor into that. Frankly if it did, that would make their careers infinitely more questionable. Take away someones gender, their sexual orientation and the color of their skin, and if the rest of them doesn't stack up, don't ******* bother.

Answer 14

Touchy let's say he's qualified for the job right but what would happen if an openly gay President kisses his partner on live TV in front of millions of people or when he's with other World leaders?



You better believe it would be controversial and open up a stormy debate with people who are ok with that and others who aren't.

Answer 15

'Would YOU BE OK with a HOMOSEXUAL/LGBT becoming mayor, governor, or president?'

It OBVIOUSLY depends on how good they are at the job.

It's like asking 'Would YOU BE OK with a BLACK PERSON/OTHER RACE THAT ISN'T WHITE becoming mayor, governor, or president?'

Pfft, so damn discriminative.

Answer 16

I don't care if they're homosexual/lgbt, Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, straight, or whatever else.

All I care about is "Do I agree with them on most issues" and "are they qualified for the job".



All else is immaterial to my choice of mayor, governor, or president.

Answer 17

This has already happened in a bunch of places around the country.... and we've already had openly gay men elected to Congress. We just haven't yet had a presidential candidate who was openly gay. It's just a matter of time before that happens, however. It wouldn't make any difference to me if someone who wanted to be president was gay. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with job performance. Congress and the US military have recognized this- it's the reason why DADT was repealed nearly 6 years ago- so why can't YOU??

Answer 18

1. My home state of Oregon has a bi-sexual Governor.



2. As a historian, I have always felt that President James Buchannan was probably homosexual.



3. And to answer your question...I could care less if I had a gay representative.

Answer 19

Of course. Let me explain something to those that have any problem against it. For many years I worked as a musician backing up broadway type shows. 95% of the men were homosexual. The music school I went to had a very high number as well. Guess what, they were way more intelligent than very many people I have known. Before you jump on saying I grew up with the wrong people let me tell you my family and colleagues range from Dr.'s to one cousin who is a CFO or a public company. Those that jump on saying no, you're idiots who need more exposure to the world.

Answer 20

We ALREADY have out gays in the senate. People knew it when they voted, and no one's having a problem with them.



Any mayor is only famous locally, so other cities wouldn't care or even know. Homophobes might swear to never going to THAT town, unless it's Vegas, or something big, but that city wouldn't care. OTHER people have money to spend.



I wouldn't mind at all, but I wouldn't vote for a guy JUST BECAUSE he's gay. He has to have political morals, unlike Trump.

Answer 21

No, we already have a ****** in the White House, so we don't need more of these sissies. We need a firm president like Vladimir Putin. That brainless black monkey turned America into an abomination, by legalizing gay marriage. We need to dethrone obama, and make him pay for his crimes. I wish Saddam Hussein was still alive, and was the president of the United States. And yes, I respected, and admired Saddam!

Answer 22

Okay let's get this straight, we are all people no matter what we are, where we come from, what we believe in, and things like that. We all want to be heard, loved, cared, and respected, and it's wrong that some people still don't understand that.

I would be okay with it but it depends if they are good in office, if they are going to be respectful and do good things for the communities. We all need to put a(n) end to all discrimination.

Answer 23

Of course. Actually we may have already had a present that fits into that group. I'm not saying it's true but there is strong evidence to suggest that Lincoln was bisexual. I would love to see diversity with people in power. I'm sorry, but white men who have a wife and children in power is a broken record.

Answer 24

First off, I'm Canadian eh, so I'll answer about my country.



Pretty sure we've already had a gay Prime Minister. Harper had to be something.



Honestly, couldn't really care. Mayor Courtemanche was bi and no one gave two *****. Why start now?

Answer 25

We've already had a president who was homosexual: James Buchanan. He happens to be the worst president we've ever had, but I think that is coincidental to his sexual orientation. I'm concerned that our president was smart on defense, high on government efficiency, death on government waste, respected our rights as private citizens, had a sensible economic and environmental program, and a practical foreign policy. I don't care about his or her sexual orientation.

Answer 26

Hell No.I don't believe homosexuality is good.I think its harmful to society and I wouldnt be ok with a homosexual being president,mayor,or governor.I wouldn't support someone who lives such a immoral lifestyle.

Answer 27

Yes of course. Does someone's sexuality define how well they will do a job? No. Is being part of LGBT going to harm anyone? No, in fact it could help others in that position throughout the country.

Many people say that a gay leader would be "sexually immoral", but in my opinion the straight (assumingly) people in major positions seem to be immoral by common standards, too. So why choose one immorality over another? (e.g. many leaders have multiple partners, many leaders seem like pedophiles)

Answer 28

As you wouldn't know what sexual orientation they were, how could you possibly be concerned?



Their actual orientation could be different from whatever they might have said in public. The current President of the USA or France or Russia or Afghanistan or wherever might be gay or trans for all anyone really knows. Just because they might be married or have kids doesn't prove anything.

Answer 29

I don't see the problem, I support gay rights. But as I seen in a previous answer, many countries are strictly against homosexuals so I could see America getting bombed if we have an openly gay president.

Answer 30

Im a Christian I think sin effects us all even the pastor at your local church every person on earth so we all have flaws because we are imperfect because we sin! So being gay is a sin that said I wont fault any person for being in sin because I also sin! This might be hard for a few to understand to sum it up I wouldn't want a person to president that openly sins and is proud of it! I might sin but I ask for forgiveness and I try to not sin.

Answer 31

We have people running for President who have had three marriages and many affairs, the Christian Republicans have no problem with that but balk at a Homosexual. We who are straight have screwed up everything why not try the other group?

Answer 32

Loving who you love shouldn't influence how well you do to be a mayor, governor, or president. Whether you're straight or not.

Answer 33

Yes

Answer 34

I dont give a **** about who the mayor, governor, or president **** with and sleep with. As long as they do their job and make the place better. People need to stop speaking of other races, cultures, sexualities like they are some weird thing... Who gives a **** they your black, white, gay, straight, Asian, European etc etc

We are all human, its not like we are picking another species to run the world.

Answer 35

I am satisfied with any one being a Governor or anything else. Sexual orientation is a personal matter and this needs not be considered in public appointments. Moreover, it is improper to make loud announcement of such things. These are personal and should be treated as such.

Answer 36

Why should someones sexuality be a barrier to what they can do? Personally, I think it is sad that people in public office have to conceal their sexual prefference, only to be named and 'shamed' by the media maniacs and have to resign.



We don't elect people based on things like their sexuality, we elect them to do a job.



To those who say it's wrong for religous reasons, was it not said judge lest ye be judged? Who am I to declare another human as immoral when I haven't a clue what it is to be them.



Not a problem in my book

Answer 37

Its what you put in your policies not what you put in your mouth that counts regardless of sexual orientation,what i will say is a very senior cabinet member without a member put his small agenda into a pigs mouth as part of a strange freshman ritual.So being gay or lesbian does not present a problem for me,however Gordan Brown did look like susan boyle dressed as mrs doubtfire.May i also point out that David Cameroon fucked a pig in the mouth,previous to that Tony Blair didnt just **** a pig in the mouth he also married said pig.

Answer 38

Yes

Answer 39

As a conservative, yes, sure, that's fine.



As long as they are competent and qualified for the job.



Despite common myths, republicans don't have problems with homo's, it's just the crazy bible-thumpers.



I actually know a few gay dudes that are smart as hell and aren't like floating around the room like a girl. They are pretty normal, just queer in the bedroom. Kinda like Anderson Cooper.



Anyway. Hope I'm busting some conservative stereotypes.

Answer 40

I personally look at their ability to lead this country regardless of sexual orientation. There are straight candidates that I would not vote for because they are arrogant a-holes.I think the candidates sex life really is none of my business and I don't really care as long as they are able to make sound decisions based on the vote and best interest of the people as a whole.

Answer 41

Houston Texas had a three term gay mayor, Annise Parker!



So if Texans can deal with it, then I don't see why any other city or state can't!

Answer 42

Yes

Answer 43

Yes

Answer 44

Honestly, whatever gender a person desires intimacy with is none of the public's business. This politician is just that - any information not relating to politics is not relevant to their profession. Being LGBTQIA+ has no influence on how they perform their job, and the subject should not be treated as such.

Answer 45

Yes

Answer 46

Hell no and i wouldn't be okay with Atheist being mayor governor or president haha

Answer 47

That is only relevant if that person's comments and actions show that earlier experiences have made him/her overly sensitive about the issue.

If I thought being LGBT would cloud his/her judgment, I would not want that person any position of power. Otherwise, it's irrelevant.

Answer 48

No and I'm not ok with same-sex couples adopting children. That's why I'm not voting for Hillary Clinton.

Answer 49

Straight people have had dumbass platforms. It's not about the gender. Of course I'd be very okay with an LGBT political leader as long as they provide the service we want and need! What's wrong with people...

Answer 50

Yes

Answer 51

Yes

Already done that, we had a homosexual mayor years ago

Answer 52

Yes

Answer 53

Yes

Answer 54

Yes

Answer 55

Theirs nothing wrong with that as we are all humans and a difference in sexuality wouldn't do any harm to society. As long as they are a good at what they're doing and serving their country right, I'm cool with it.

Answer 56

Seattle has one already.



I don't like it because he weirdly pushes for unisex restrooms... while homeless people freeze to death.



Don't get me wrong. To each their own, but man as a mayor that is a very odd sense of priority.

Answer 57

Yeah. Most Republican\Conservative LGBT are counter-productive.

Answer 58

Of course I would I don't have anything against them. If they had bad morals and were liars and cheats then I wouldn't be okay with them. To be honest these people are brave because it takes a lot to come out or change sex

Answer 59

A person's sexuality would not bother me. What any office holder does in the bedroom and with whom does not bother me unless it is with minors or those unable to give consent.



What would concern me first is their politics and manifesto. I would be even more concerned that if elected to office whether they kept their promises and fulfilled their manifesto.



What would concern me far more than any candidate's sexuality is the fact that he or she is a politician. Politicians just cannot be trusted.

Answer 60

Yes

Answer 61

I'm Christian so I do think homosexual acts are a sin. But as a Christian we all sin. Not voting someone because you don't like thier sin imparticular is wrong.

Answer 62

Watch

Answer 63

Just creating another adjective to a candidate, it makes it political and absurd. Those who get elected run to represent the people and not a name. I would not elect any candidate that runs behind a platform of separation. Being gay or lesbian is a sexual preference not a birth gender. So run as such.

Answer 64

I'm a Christian, heterosexual woman, and I can honestly say that I will not give a ****. Just as long as they know what Tf they're doing running this country or city, I. Do. Not. Care.

Answer 65

Yes

Answer 66

Yes, I would support anyone who would promote what is best for the people and general conservative values. The fact that they are LGBT might mean that they support gay marriage, something that is not associated with conservatism, but there are plenty of LGBT members who actually are conservatives.

Answer 67

If he or she (or whatever in between) runs on a platform of lowering taxes, cutting gov't spending, keeping a strong military and a strong foreign policy, then that LGBT person will get my vote.

Answer 68

Yes

Answer 69

Of course, it'd be great! Not only are we all the same no matter who we love or what gender. It'd also show how far we have come in society and that we are all one big accepting world.

Answer 70

No. I don't support gays/homosexuals, especially as leaders. However, the mayor of Seattle, WA is openly gay. He is frequently seen on the news supporting gay rights. It's ridiculous.

Answer 71

If I'm not interested in bedding someone, I really do not care what their gender preference is. That's not how I judge whether someone will make the best decisions and everything for the job they have been elected for.

Answer 72

Of course. There's no double standard for LGBT people (well, at least there shouldn't). They can do anything straight/cis people can do and I really don't see the fuss.

Answer 73

Harvey Milk was also elected, and subsequently

murdered by somebody unable to accept USA

democracy. The USPS offers the late Mr. Milk

on postage if reader wants first class delivery.

How far will any mail will go if it was your face

tells us the accumulated personal value.

Answer 74

If they're highly qualified then of course. They couldn't possibly be as bad as some dumbfυck loudmouth with a bad comb-over.

Answer 75

Yes. They could be a sheepshagger as long as they could do the job properly.

And what makes you so certain that someone from the LGBT community does not already hold public office?

Answer 76

Doesn't matter to me as long as they do a good job to the best of their ability. With the people they work for first and foremost considered. No hidden agenda for their own gain. No political BS just good governing!

Answer 77

Yes. That's their orientation

Answer 78

It's all about how he does his job and carry the issues of this country.. I don't care about anyone's sexuality that's out my household.. It'll be his business not mines just don't get in my face or come near me with all that bullcrap But seriously it's his business not mines

Answer 79

yes. How is their sexual orientation impacting politics. In general politicians keep their sex life out of the public eye. Their is a reason press ask politicians about policy and not was your wife good in bed last night

Answer 80

The said groups currently take part in the U.S labor force. To deny them the right to strive towards the said positions would be the same as denying them the right to work . The said positions are Jobs like any other just at a much more profound level . I would be okay with it. It is not fair to deny the said groups the right to work just as it is not right and fair to deny the right to work based on religious stance.

Answer 81

Wouldn't mind

Answer 82

All I want, is a competent individual, who's not corrupt, and eating out of the hands of the corporations. What I want is someone to fix our fucked up economy, and I dont give a rats *** what His or Her or It's sexual orientation is.

Answer 83

The purported homo-or-bisexuality of any level elected official really isn't a concern with me, in fact, I can care less who they get naked in bed--or anywhere else--with; I'm against LIBERAL politicians that reek being UNQUALIFIED CLUELESS.



And that's why Hillary Clinton is wasting her time / money trying for MY vote.

Answer 84

Gays have no soul therefore they are the devils creation devil has 5 letters the devil has 2 horns and gay has 3 letters. 5+2+3= 10. Illuminati has 10 letters and the sevils pitchfork has 3 spikes therefor gays are illuminati confirmed. And we dont want the illuminati in any US office now do we?

Answer 85

Yes, they're still people who are cabable of doing anything straight people can do. Honestly, I rather have them in a position of authority than a homophobe...

Answer 86

yes I would be ok with it they are human after all. I cannot see the different and I think all this religion

people should think about it. I know some of this people and think they are as good as everybody else

after all this religious people are just thinking they are over every body else. They have killed more people

then every body else after all.

Answer 87

Yea, as long as he/she isn't a living a double life and hypocritical sack of ****. There has been a ton of politicians who were gay on the down low and pushed the family values ticket on everyone.

Answer 88

Yeah

Answer 89

Yes, and why wouldn't I? As long as they're qualified, then sure. The only people who wouldn't are obviously the types who shouldn't be voting anyways... (Sadly like at least one or two of the people answering here...)

Answer 90

If he/she can lead effectively... I mean... yeah, sure. I'd take an LGBT leader who respects the Constitution over a law-breaking, Constitution-mending scumbag who happens to have heterosexual preferences.

Answer 91

Their sexuality shouldn't be the reason they get elected. In Australia people elected Julia gillard to be our first female prime minister and look what a terrible job she did. Gender or sexuality shouldn't matter, the job they do does.

Answer 92

Are you referring to the thought that Secretary Clinton might be a lesbian? Or Lindsey Graham is gay? Since the majority of lbgt people are democratically inclined and the majority of Republicans are against it. It poses and interesting question.

Answer 93

It would depend on their character. If there wouldn't be an unreasonable bias practiced by the individual it's an issue for me.

Answer 94

Yes I do. I would be ecstatic to see George Takai as president. I don't know any other celebrity be great as one as him.

Answer 95

"...No.I don't believe homosexuality is good.I think its harmful to society and I wouldnt be ok with a homosexual being president,mayor,or governor.I wouldn't support someone who lives such a immoral lifestyle."

Answer 96

When I live in America I am in Houston. A lesbian just let office. I don't care.

Answer 97

It happened in Houston already, but it didn't accomplish much, the potholes got worse, the infrastructure suffered, but LBGT ideas got shoved down Houstonians throat.

Answer 98

A person sexuality has nothing at all to do with their ability to govern (which is what people should be voting on in the first place!)

Answer 99

How should I be ok for a homosexual to rule over me? They got nothing good for you

Answer 100

100%.



I don't care about someone's sexual orientation, I care about whether or not they will do a good job as an elected official. I vote accordingly.

Answer 101

Their sexuality shouldn't matter at all, as long as they're doing good and helping the community, improving the country/city/town. It really shouldn't matter as long as their priorities are in check.

Answer 102

We have already had one homosexual president and survived it quite well. All the rest were married and some were better; some were worse.

Answer 103

Yes of course

Answer 104

It depends. I am a conservative who doesn't really support the LGBT community nor lifestyle, unless it's a hot lesbian or hot bisexual woman. Also, they have to be QUALIFIED. If the hot lesbian has the intelligence and the will to do what's best for my city, she has my vote.

Answer 105

What does a persons sexual preference have to do with the qualification of said person for that postion? thats like saying germany should be run by a blonde hair, blue eyed man. yeah, he viewed the perfect germans as blonde haired, blue eyed people, but he also hated anyone who wasnt like that. what if this gay person of power hates non gay people? as long as your good at what you do, it dont matter who you are, just do your job, and dont be a *****.

Answer 106

Actually, I wouldn't really care...but I would roll my eyes at the gloating from the LGBT that was sure to follow suite.

Answer 107

Of course. A person's sexual orientation IS NOT contrary to the needs of politics.

Answer 108

No way. They are mentally ill and confused. I wouldn't want any one of them in high government office making any important decisions.

Answer 109

Sure - if such a person was competent and DID NOT have the intense anger that these people often exude since such anger excludes the possibility of being objective.

Answer 110

This country need some serious highlights! It's about time.

Answer 111

I do not care what he does with his *** in his world, but to become governor, president to give us lessons of life ... I would definitely shoot him ... no problem with lesbians but to become president one of them it means that the rest of us have a big problem...

Answer 112

Hell no!! Look what the lesbian mayor of Houston, TX did recently....look it up its way too complex to put here. I will say she acted like some sort of KGB thug BECAUSE of her sexual choice.

Answer 113

Yes, I don't see any impairment coming out of one's sexual orientation as far as politics are concerned...

Answer 114

Yeah I would be okay with it. The persons sexuality shouldn't matter. As long as they would do a good job of it. I'm gay btw

Answer 115

If a gay man or woman was the best candidate for the job, I would be all for it. A person's sex life has nothing to do with their ability to do their job.

Answer 116

Yes as long as they're not self loathing republicans like caitlyn jenner.

Answer 117

Nothing on the outside determines the inside. Who cares what their race, orientation, creed etc is if they are a good person, they've earned my vote.

Answer 118

Not really because I don't think he/she would be able to concentrate on the task at hand. They might be looking at other representatives with their finger on the button, thinking 'oooh he/she looks nice'.

Answer 119

I don't care. How is him being gay going to affect me? As long as he's not some Hitler demanding all straight people should be sent to camps to be killed.

Answer 120

Yes I would. I don't judge a candidate by their sexuality. I judge them by their politics.

Answer 121

Portland, Oregon recently had a gay mayor for several years. And he did a terrific job.

Answer 122

Yes.

Unlike conservatives, I don't care what two consenting adults do in their own bedroom.

Answer 123

Not now. Not Tomorrow. Not Ever.

Lindsey Graham is enough. We got rid of the other one

Barney Fife or something gay like that.

Answer 124

Absolutely, why would it not be okay? It's 2016 we need to move on from homophobia

Answer 125

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with someone who isn't even smart enough to figure out what the opposite sex is for.

Answer 126

As long as they accomplish something, and do they jobs correctly improving everyone's lives and aiming for their citizen well being why not ( goes for straight too)

Answer 127

Sure, there've been successful leaders who were gay and lesbian. Definitely more than we know probably because most of them were not open about it because it wasn't always as acceptable.

Answer 128

No that's totally disgusting

Of course. I don't care about a leader's sexual preference anyway.

Answer 130

Yes.

Answer 131

America already has a homosexual president. The LGBT community is everywhere and most, when voting, don't even know this until they are in office.

Answer 132

Any of the above except president.



The commander in chief better not be a fruit.

Answer 133

It depends... Were they elected because of their homosexuality like Obama was elected because of his being black?

If they are fairly elected on MERIT then I have no problem with gays in political office.

Answer 134

I don't yet homosexual. So I am not OK

Answer 135

Yeah.



Anyone has to be better than our prime minister, David Cameron.



What a massive gimp. . .

Answer 136

We already got 1 Obama.

Answer 137

In my opinion I don't care wether you are straight or gay. You are a human that's all that matters.

Answer 138

Well becoming gay and attracted towards the people with same gender is not big issue despite having burning issue. so rather then solving it we will have focus on it.

Answer 139

Last I checked, whether you are a man or a woman, gay or straight (or anywhere in between), it has nothing to do with how good you are at your job. Whether that s in politics, private industry, or corporate positions.

Answer 140

homosexual men are mean in general, ive been by a huge string of them and don't really think much about them.

Answer 141

Idc

Answer 142

NEITHER i think that if a government official is openly or OVERLY expressive of their sexuality than they should be corrected. That is because EITHER party on this issue is bias.

Answer 143

I wouldn't care because the government is already messed up. We're living in a broken utopia, my friend.

Answer 144

As long as that person can do the job and works hard for the people and doesn't cheat on his/her partner. I feel like if u cheat on ur loved ones, what chance do he people have.

Answer 145

No i would not be okay with it. I respect Almighty God who says such a thing is an abomination to Him. So it would not be acceptable to me because I love my Creator.

Answer 146

Should we reject a person on his personal characteristics? Or we should consider anyone on the basis of his skills and abilities to handle general public/leadership traits.

Answer 147

our premier(governor) in ontario canada is lesbain, we allow transgenders to washrooms based on their gender identity for yrs. made no negaitve difference. you americans make an issue out of non issue

Answer 149

What would the ghost of Lincoln think if Larry was pile driving Steve in his bed?

Answer 150

What does his sexual orientation have to do with his job as mayor? Is having sex with the town he governs?

Answer 151

I can't imagine why I would care one way or the other. I vote for policy, not personal life.

Answer 152

No. Because I already feel that the LGBT community is too aggressive and they have an agenda.

Answer 153

Yes. I would appreciate their intelligence, knowledge and work. Why would I care about their sexual orientation ? How can that affect their leadership values ? Obviously not.

Answer 154

Why not, wouldn't you ?;) the problem with politics and politicians - Dem, Rep, Gay or not is corruption greed, not Gay ... is or is this another hate mongering question to see how much hate and bashing you can stir up !

Answer 155

Ya Ill Be ok

Answer 156

Sexual preference doesn't define quality. As long as the person has able hands and qualified, I have no reason to reject them.

Answer 157

I am OK with it , as long as they don't lie, steal , or whine about their lifestyle like many straight politicians.

Answer 158

Mentally mixed up humans - I don't know

Answer 159

If they had the merit and potential, it wouldn't matter to me. They have probably fought twice as hard to be taken seriously.

Answer 160

No. Yeah we should have a president who's black, gay, disabled, fat, bald etc. Have all the minorities represented in one person.

Answer 161

As long as they didn't make it a law that every man was obliged to giving a gay man a ********

Answer 162

No I would not. That person does not represent the majority of his representatives in real life. I am with those who do not tolerate his sexual preference. It is against my personal Christian beliefs.

Answer 163

Yes.

Answer 164

Just because they are gay doesn't change anything. So yes i would be 100% fine with it

Answer 165

of course! why wouldn't anyone be? Most people can't even tell when someone is trans until they're told.

Answer 166

No way. We don't need one of those disgusting pieces of garbage freaks in there

Answer 167

Why would it matter who a person desires sexually? Thats like asking iwould you be ok if the person prefers one hair color over the other

Answer 168

If I agree with their policy vision, I don't care one iota about their sexuality.

Answer 169

Not if that was all the candidate had going, Black. However, I always try to vote for the best person to the job, regardless of race, religion, sexual standing, etc.

Answer 170

Of course I would be, it's how they plan to make things better that matters, not their sexual orientation

Answer 171

Yes

Look what a good job Bush done

Answer 172

If they're able to lead. Sexuality shouldn't matter.

Answer 173

If their focus is on the good of the people, making the best city, state or nation and not on their sexual issues then it is ok with me.

Answer 174

As long as they were qualified for the position, I'd be fine with it.

Answer 175

No. I wouldn't. They live unnatural, vile lifestyles.

Answer 176

No. They aren't going to focus on any issues that matter.

Answer 177

Yes.

Answer 178

Nothing should effect your view of a candidate accept their values and policies.

Answer 179

Sexual orientation barley represent 10% of one' overall, so it doesn't matter

Answer 180

I really don't have a problem with their sexual orientation if they're doing a good job.

Answer 181

It wouldn't make any difference to me. I would care much more about their policies and competence.

Answer 182

Yes.

Answer 183

No way. we ALREADY have a rug muncher running lol. The mayor of Houston Anise PORKER was a dyke too. I hate her!

Yeah, if I agree with what they believe and think they'd do a good job.

Answer 188

We've already had them in those government positions, ask your history teacher.

Answer 189

No. Unless they only focus on stuff to do with LGBT.

Answer 190

Why on earth would I care who they hump? As long as they hump consenting adults, it is no body's business but their own.

Answer 191

Why would I care As long as they do a good job? Straight politicians seem to all suck so if a gay one did good , that would would be good right?

Answer 192

as long as I don't have to sleep with them or watch I'm not bothered.

Answer 193

Yes. Their sexual preference shouldn't interfere with their work.

Answer 194

In Britain we wouldn't give a sh1t

Answer 195

of course i would be, and i can see it happening in the not so distant future. america has outgrown racism by electing a black president, they will outgrow homophobia as well.

Answer 196

You know..the world has enough issues too deal with..without a issue that according to most religions is unacceptable..DAMN IT MAN!!!!!!

Answer 197

Yes.

Answer 198

Sexual preference should never be a factor in anything. Just like race. Its stupid and wrong.

Answer 199

Of course. It wouldnt be any different than a straight person.

Answer 200

Sexuality/how someone identifies themselves means nothing, who they love/ choose to be should have no influence on their politics

Yes, I'd be perfectly fine with it, why not?
