I'm aware that there are a lot more progressive whites than black males in the dem party so I wonder how this is going to affect Cory's chances in the primaries.
Unless you have solid proof of Mr. Booker's sexuality can get yourself in a world of trouble making statements not based in fact. I believe the legal term is libel in this instance.

There is already an openly gay Democrat candidate running for President. Questioning Booker's sexuality isn't going to derail his candidacy or his qualifications to be President.

I assumed he was gay when during the hearings he acted very feminine with his melodrama... Was it suppose to be a secret? If his story about a girlfriend is true, is he trying to pull a Smollet and lie to your face like that???

Good one. No way Booker will win the Democratic Primary so the question is a moot point.

Yes, I agree with you. He is tied to Wall Street and not a true Progressive and Justice Democrat. We know who the pretenders are and they will not pass the test.

Nor did it stop Obama. Never even came up too much in Hillary’s bid.

I still believe the reason Gore lost in 2000 (other than the bad ballot in Florida) was the Jewish running mate. Without a doubt it cost him enough votes to result in him losing Florida by enough that the ballot issue mattered. If he picks up 5-10,000 more votes there the issue is meaningless. Today I’m not sure a Jewish running mate matters as much as I think in the last 19 years people are more willing to vote for a Jew or an atheist, a homosexual, or a Muslim but bottom line is they’ll still fare worse than a straight Christian Caucasian candidate

All the articles I've read (just looked up), he claims he is heterosexual and denies being homosexual. If he is denying being homosexual, how will it help him (even if he actually were)? It's kind of like Obama constantly saying he is Christian, but many people saying he's really Muslim. If he doesn't identify with being homosexual, what is the point of continually speculating?

Who cares wether he is or not. That won’t be the deciding factor on my vote.
