The OP appears to be heavily invested in identity politics.

First I have no clue if he is hetero or homo, and frankly I have never heard this before.
But it is very naive of you to think it does not make a difference to the general population whether the leader of America is homo.
If serious questions are posed about a candidates religion for example, with people choosing not to vote for them based on it (think JFK or Romney), can you imagine how sexual orientation would effects peoples perception?

While being homo does not disqualify them from running, and you can genuinely feel it makes no difference in your mind, it will for many people.

Likely those same people had zero problem voting for a thrice divorced, kitty grabbing, serial cheater and liar. So I'm not worried about how they will vote. They are sticking with Trump.

I cannot believe that this poll promoting something as fact based on unsubstantiated innuendo is still here and hasn't been removed by moderators. That makes the forum moderators complicit in the smear campaign started by the OP. It is shameful that this is still here.

I flagged it a while ago for that very reason. Go figure.

As is typical, not staying on point without having to get in a dig or two against Trump.

Regardless, rest assured some people could care less what a persons sexual life is like, as many knew both JFK and Bill Clinton were serial philanderers.
But fidelity or lack thereof with heteros is a much different subject than that of abnormal sexual practices to the general public.
You and other self described "open-minded" people may not want to admit it, but deep down you know it is true.

I get what you are saying, as the poll should have said IF Booker is homo, will that help or hurt him among the (D) base.
I would assume he is hetero, as I have never heard anything to the contrary. I doubt anyone these days could keep that a secret since he has been in the public eye for years.
That is unless the MSM has been complicit.

With that said, does it bother you when a poll or thread is started against Trump that is unsubstantiated innuendo, to the point of you implying moderators are "complicit"?

If so, please post up even one example you requested censoring of such?
If not, maybe your PC and/or ideological alarm bells are going off, all for the wrong reasons.

Ah, so you admit to being a button pusher for things like unsubstantiated innuendo?

While I would agree with that terminology (since I have never even heard a hint otherwise), I will ask you the same question.

Have you ever reported a thread/poll against Trump that was unsubstantiated innuendo?
If not, then look at yourself in the mirror and rightly question yourself.

As an FYI, I and many other posters do not report threads/posts biased on political bias. The only time I can think of hitting the report button is when vulgarity or things like links to porn are involved.
That does not make me a better person than you, but it does make me a non-hypocrite.

Is pretty much every Democratic politician who supports gay rights secretly gay themselves?

Trump is the first US President ever to push for decriminalization of Gays & Lesbians across the entire world. He certainly isn't gay.



Yet another example where you are completely wrong.
