Does anyone really care if their elected officials (whether congress or president or local officials) are gay? If you do care, then why and what makes you think a straight person would do a better job?

Vanessa, you've confused me. (Sorry it happens all the time.) Are you trying to say that it does matter because their decisions will be affected?

Stevie, i'm just as confused as you are dear : D
no one can tell if their decisions might be affected or not.
you've just asked a very important question that i myself need to get an answer to it, i mean a real good one.
please let me know when someone here gives that answer.

A good answer is not always the one we're looking for. A person's sexual orientation is not a guarantee of good or evil. There are plenty of examples of evil straight people. Finding instances of evil gay people are harder to find but that just might be because of the ostracized feeling or a person's reluctance to accept they're gay. I personally don't think a person's sexual orientation does affect their judgement in any consistent good or bad way. However, that doesn't mean that religious people, for example, see gay people as evil by using the bible to decide and anyone who fights for gay rights is therefore evil by association.

Me too. For instance, those who believe in the "sanctity of marriage" just to cheat on their spouse. Or (only because Republicans are so much easier to pick on) advocating for less gov't in citizens private lives while passing bills that infringe on our rights. I happen to watch a movie yesterday regarding this issue (I think it was called Outrage) and seeing some of these people put down and almost dehumanize gay people just to find out later that the congressman is also gay!! It's unbelievable what some of these people will do, regardless of their sexual orientation.

I agree that it shouldn't matter. But I don't understand why you would want to know if the person is gay or not. If both gay & straight are philandering then does it really matter? They're both not sticking with their significant other.
