I think it's time. And his/her significant other could be the "First Gaydy".

Why are you worried? Just because he sleeps with a man? How does that effect the social fabric of the country?

Unlike Trump, who was totally prepared to be president and fully understands his duties. Six bankruptcies, and being a game show host teaches you a lot.

I don't vote for someone because of who they have sex with, their gender, or any other ridiculous irrelevance. I want a president who doesn't care about that doo doo either.

That wasn't the question though.

You can disagree with him politically and still agree that his sexuality shouldn't disqualify him.

In my OPINION:

Urban voters, a definite Yes.
Rural voters: I don't think so.

What kind of asinine question is this?

I didn’t know the presidency had anything to do with gayness.

The last thing I care is how other people use their own genitalia.

I did answer the question. I voted yes.

If you guys vote me, a gay dude, as president, I promise to put in $100B into research to find a cure for heterosexuality.

But seriously, why not?
