We've sure come a long way in a short time. Hard to believe a little more than 10 years ago we were voting across the country on the definition of marriage—and equality was losing badly. From the Huffington Post:
More Americans feel comfortable with a presidential candidate who identifies as gay or lesbian than with one who identifies as an evangelical Christian, according to a new poll.
The latest WSJ/NBC poll listed a series of qualities in a potential presidential candidate and asked respondents whether they'd "be enthusiastic," "be comfortable with," "have some reservations about" or "be very uncomfortable with" a candidate with each of those qualities.
The results revealed that Americans are actually quite open to having a gay presidential candidate. Sixty-one percent said they would be either enthusiastic about or comfortable with a gay or lesbian candidate, while only 37 percent said they would have reservations or be uncomfortable.
it's a dying breed the intolerant, more Americans are seeing no difference in those they think are good Americans and the LGB&T community who you love does not impact on another if they think it does than it's clear who has the real problem. i still maintain that the republicans and some others laughed at Pres.'s catch phrase "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN" and "WE ARE THE CHANGE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR" indifference and refusal to except the responsibility of bringing that change stagnated it for a few years now that said do you really think we would be here if not for Pres.??? he who laughs last laughs best. this is taking America forward not backwards as some would have it.
