You know what the difference is? I bet you don't. As a monarch she is the end all be all of their government. A president, woman or gay man, isn't. The presidency is an office to be filled. IT IS NOT A PERSON. That is the Constitutional fact of the matter.

Again, small mindedness and blatant bigotry in this day and age isn't really acceptable anymore, at least not in public.
You are confused...............The Queen of England is a figure head........the Prime Minister , an elected official,does not answer to her, nor do the Troops. Most people today understand that the British Monarchy although still has the power of veto, never exercise it, making it for all intents and purposes.....Powerless. Nice try though. Spare us with your bigotry claims , it certainly is acceptable, just turn on msnbc.

If I thought the person had right view of the world and knew how to get us back on track, I wouldn't care if he spent every evening in a blonde wig and bustier, running around the White House lawn, singing, "Like a Virgin" into a Mr. Microphone. You know, just to blow off steam.

Sadly, some can not get past the idea of homosexuals existing in society.

Yeah, America wouldn't vote for a homo any more than they would vote for a black man.

Judging by your comments, you seem to assume that only a man can be President. The Prime Minister of Iceland is a gay woman, and she recently married her long-term partner. I know Iceland is tiny compared to the U.S., but I haven't heard of other world leaders laughing at Iceland because of this.
