A GAY PRINT? THE MAJORY OF AMERINS BELIEVE THE UNTRY ISN’T READY

Poll of the week: A new Qunipiac Universy poll fds that 70% of voters (cludg 86% of Democrats and pennts who lean Democratic) say they are open to electg a gay print. The same poll also disvered, however, that only 36% of voters (cludg 40% of Democrats and pennts who lean Democratic) thk the Uned Stat is ready to elect a gay print. It’s also possible that some voters are not willg to adm to homophobia, while signalg by sayg sentially, “I’m ready, but others may not be.

I should note that pollg on whether the untry is ready for a gay print differs signifintly om pollg on whether Amerins thought the untry was ready for a black print 2007 or a woman print 2015. Intertgly, all three stanc, more voters said they were ready for a black, female or gay print than thought the untry was ready for one.

IS AMERI—AND THE RT OF THE WORLD—READY FOR A GAY PRINT?

But even if Amerins are more tolerant of gay Amerins than voters thk they are, more are prejudiced agast gay Amerins than they were agast black Amerins 2007 or women 2014. Today, about a quarter of all voters (cludg 10% of Democrats) told Qunipiac that they weren’t open to vote for a gay man for print.

About 35% of Amerins openly admted the 2018 General Social Survey that they thought “homosexual sex relatns” were almost always or always wrong. The percentage of Amerins who say they would vote for a gay person for print is up 15-20 pots sce 2007, pendg on the poll you look at.

OPN AMERI HAS ALREADY HAD A GAY PRINT

Further, ’s possible that if Buttigieg be succsful on the mpaign trail, then Amerins may bee even more open to the ia of a gay print.

LATVIA BE 7TH NATN TO BE LED BY AN OPENLY GAY HEAD OF STATE

From the Op-Ed pag of the New York Tim to CNN’s The Suatn Room, Print Jimmy Carter’s recent claim on Big Thk that Ameri is fact ready to elect a gay Commanr--Chief sometime “ the near future” created que the media stir. As part of our latt seri, A Gay Whe Hoe?, Fred Karger sat down wh Big Thk to talk ndidly about his chanc of beg the 45th Print of the Uned Stat.

HACKNEY: POLL SAYS AMERI ISN'T READY FOR A GAY PRINT LIKE BUTTIGIEG. WHO R?

Karger, who plans to n as an “Inpennt Republin, ” says there’s nothg ntradictory about beg gay and Republin, spe the unfortunate realy that many lears of the Republin Party have led efforts agast gay marriage.

“There is a Vany Fair/CBS poll that showed over 50% of the public supports the ncept of an openly gay print, ” says Karger.

”If Karger officially announc his bid for the princy this Sprg, makg the him the first openly gay man to ever n for the posn, he isn’t so sure how right-leang talk show hosts like Rh Limbgh and Glenn Beck will react. This past May, the Print of the Iowa Christian Alliance Steve Scheffler sent Karger a terse email, warng him that “the radil homosexual muny” and he were “not wele the state of Iowa. Whether they are Republins or Democrats, men or women, Karger says there are plenty of closeted gay people polics all over the Uned Stat.

The ma reason he is nsirg nng for Print is to teach young people that ’s okay to be gay: “Relign is the culpr here teachg people that this is wrong. [/b]I thk the kd of people who wouldn't vote for Pete Buttigieg bee he's gay, wouldn't vote for him if he was straight eher, bee they won't ever vote for a Democrat.

How well someone is able to appeal to the mass is far more tertg than there homosexuals, women and non-wh that are pable of beg Print?

NEARLY 70 PERCENT OF AMERINS ARE OKAY WH A GAY PRINT, POLL SAYS

There are zero allegatns that Obama had gay sex when he was married or cheated on Michelle at any you kd of have the double standard. I thk a gay person would set a different tone for this untry, one that we need so I do wish him the bt of luck. Im not polil any way, shape or form but I reckon at some pot, even the USA (Im Brish) they will elect a gay print, I mean regardls of party, you already had Obama and I bet the 70s and 80s people said there would be no Black print.

Most of those people are probably still nservative to vote for the first gay print ever, but might be persuad to vote across party l if the Democrats had someone ls ntrovercial the gay shouldn't be ntrovercial, but to those people would be, and those people got Tmp to office the first time, so they do, unfortunately, still matter. In orr for a gay republin to actually get stayg power, they'd need Evangelil support and Evangelils don't support thgs like gay marriage so I wouldn't know how a gay republin princy would work.

@MarmeeMarch That’s hilar, you’re the one who don’t want a woman or a “homo” the Whe Hoe, and bee I lled [b]you[/b] (not “Ameri”) out on [b]your[/b] bigotry, I’m the tolerant qutn was whether Ameri is ready for a gay print, I thk we are even if you personally aren’t. You're a homophobic racist, but not all Amerins are, so while you would never vote for a black or female or gay print, one uld be elected bee most of the untry isn't as homophobic or racist or misogynistic as you cur - image that Tmp don't n, and the Republins nomate a nservative black lbian Mlim. “If elected, you would be the first openly gay print of the Uned Stat, ” Stephen Colbert said to Pete Buttigieg after the mayor of South Bend, Ind., clared his ndidacy.

While the characterizatn of beg openly gay or “out” is relatively new, the fact is the Uned Stat has already had a gay print whose ntemporari knew : Jam Buchanan. Andrew Jackson referred to Kg as “Miss Nancy”— a phemism for a gay ntemporari lled Kg Buchanan’s “better half, ” and one ngrsman referred to him as “Mrs. At most uld suggt Buchanan was not openly discsg this moment, we fet that beg gay the mid-19th century did not tomatilly exclu a man om natnal learship.
