Clay for President

[Everett]

If he was like Peter Bell or Hughento, yes.  But not if he was just basing his campaign on “I’m gay, so elect me!” or making it a big deal throughout the entire campaign.  I just wouldn’t vote for him if he was trying to use being gay to win the election, otherwise I wouldn’t really care.

Basically what CheeseWhiz said. I generally dislike people who insist on serving up their "oppressed minority status" on a silver platter to get sympathy from the masses instead of having an actual agenda, a solid campaign, et cetera. It's all right if the candidate is openly gay and doesn't constantly demand pity and attention from voters because s/he is a "minority"; taking advantage of and abusing that "oppressed minority status" to gain sympathy instead of gaining attention through sheer competence is simply not something that I respect. I don't care if the person is homosexual, Black, Hispanic, female, old, young, wheelchaired, poor, transsexual, and so forth, as long as s/he is qualified and competent. But if the person thinks that using the "oppressed minority status" is a viable substitute for competence, then that's when I would have a problem.

Just replace "gay" with "bisexual".

[nclib]

Of course, provided I agreed with them on the issues.

[WalterMitty]

yes i would.

but i also believe bisexualism is a myth.

[Speed of Sound]

sure, why not?

[Bono]

yes i would.

but i also believe bisexualism is a myth.

That study had pretty dodgy methods, an insignificant sample, and even its author didn't think it was enough to draw any conclusions.

[Max Power]

Yes (normal)

[John Dibble]

I don't base whether or not I'm going to vote for someone based on the type of person they like to f***.

[Joe Republic]

Of course, provided they're a competent politician and a decent person.

[TeePee4Prez]

Yes and would have sex with one or possibly two at the same time as well.

[Bono]

Yes and would have sex with one or possibly two at the same time as well.

Would you have sex with CLay and Richius at the same time?

[© tweed]

It would have no effect on my vote.  And I truly and honestly don't understand not voting for someone on basis of their sexuality.

[Alcon]

Who cares?

Sexual orientation wouldn't have any effect on my vote.

[opebo]

Yes, of course.  I would also like to feed those that voted 'no' to the lions.

[AkSaber]

If I agreed with the politician, then yes.

[Ebowed]

Of course, provided I agreed with them on the issues.
