Heck, a gay president? After the last two presidents, I would be ready for a ****ing giraffe as president, so long as the giraffe takes a pair of scissors to the credit card.
I can't see it myself, because there's not even been a female president yet.
(apparently Iceland has a lesbian PM?)
anyway, I don't really think it's appropriate to have a leader of men, being homosexual.
The POTUS is a "leader of men?" Cool... then I guess as a woman, I don't have to abide by any of the nation's laws.
Also, why are you assuming this GLBT President would be a man? It could be a lesbian, after all. And as a few others have pointed out, we've most likely already had a gay president - Buchanan and Lincoln come to mind, and they aren't the only ones who were speculated to be gay.
of course it matters - image is key for public figures.
How would foreign nations look upon a homosexual president?
many would not take him seriously!
It would be a disaster.
Other nations have had gay leaders, in addition to female leaders... seemed to work out okay, but for some reason this supposedly "progressive nation" is falling behind on the diversity train.
Maybe (definitely!) you have some issues with gay people, but hopefully the world's leaders would be more mature than that. Why would it even be an issue? You've used this argument on another thread, and we all pretty much called BS on it then - and will do it again now. These are your hangups, plain and simple. I mean, the same argument could be made for different religious leaders, right? How does a Christian-dominant nation take a Jewish leader seriously? Or a Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, etc? Hmmmm.
I can only speak for myself...and I chime in from time to time. I have my reservations about homosexuality and the scientific rent-seeking behind it...But I could leave well to do alone if the staunch defenders weren't so annoying and gung ho about it.
But that's just me.....
Yeah, it's uber annoying when people demand equal rights... I wish they'd just shut up already, and accept their second-class place in society!
Everyone has issues they personally "crusade" or feel strongly about, so I'm not even sure why you would ask her such a question. Don't you have any topics that really get you going? I sure do!
