Myself... 30, double major in economics and political science, upper middle class family background, raised protestant, now atheist, grew up in a racially and religiously diverse city (Orlando).

I prefer my politicians experienced, extremely smart and well educated, and preferably from the mainline strains of their parties. Practical rather than ideological.

Oh... and emotionally and mentally stable.

Hate to break it to you, but you do not qualify as young anymore. You are allowed to drink.

Yeah, didn't Clinton do pretty well with gays in the 2008 primary against Obama?  Has that carried over to 2016?

[ProudModerate2]

Agree with the others.
Educated or well-educated (in other words, not stupid).
Also, a decent level of ethics/morals.

This.  Also, coming from a wealthy family.

It has, except among the youngest group (<25), but I would say she still has a huge chunk of that group if it is below a majority.

This forum generally, but seemingly also the Clintonistas on here in particular, is/are way gayer than the general US population.  Not that Atlas is a microcosm for the primary electorate, but it'd be interesting to see some polling - sexual orientation is rarely an item in surveys.

They don’t usually ask it, but it was included in the 2008 California primary exit poll, which had Clinton 63% Obama 29% among LGBT Dem. primary voters in the state:

I don’t think I’ve seen a similar question in any of the 2016 polls.

Can you explain your description of "way gayer" ?
What exactly does this mean ? What makes someone more, way-gayer ?

[Famous Mortimer]

I don't think this forum is an aberration in this instance, the only people I know IRL who are big Clinton supporters are gay or trans.

Stop trying to be offended by things. He didn't say individuals were "gayer". He said the forum was gayer. Meaning the percentage of the forum that is gay is higher than the percentage of US that is gay. His meaning was very obvious and if you really couldn't figure it out, you should be embarrassed.

Uh, that much more than 2% of men on this forum self-identify as gay (2% is the national avg)

First off, my question was not to you.
Second, I never said I was "offended" (not yet at least ... I need addl info re "way gayer."
Third, the quote says "the Clintonistas on here in particular," so this does mean "individuals" and not necessarily just "the forum."

No, it was not referring to individuals, it was referring to the aggregate of Clinton supporters within the forum, which i would bet (like Democrats generally) has a higher average of men IDing as gay than the national average

I was NOT suggesting that Clinton supporters are more "flamboyant" or something like that
