Do you think there will ever be an openly gay president?

In the far future maybe

Not in my lifetime, neither a gay man nor lesbian. Neither happening.

Probably Buttigieg could have a chance. 

He'd have to start by improving his numbers with African-Americans. And people can't blame homophobia outright like they did during Prop 8 as gay marriage is now polling at 50-60% approval in that group in most major polls.

No, I don’t see it tbh. Don’t be fooled, this country loves to talk about equality but America is home of the DLs. We have a v toxic relationship when it comes to men and their sexuality. It’s rooted in the DNA of this country because of toxic masculinity and other things.

Yes, but not in any of our lifetimes. Probably in 1000 years.

humanity won’t be a thing by then

I can see a female president before an openly LGBTQ+ one. 

 

There are a lot of closeted politicians back in the 50s-90s. So its possible in the next 20-30 years.

What about a gay female president. We can’t forget our lesbian sisters exist.

Anything is possible. Currently I can see America entertaining a straight white female president first before anyone else. You know US gotta take baby steps with change/evolution lol.

Imagine the president sending you a message on grindr. Like "pix?" 😂

[JoeAg]

yes but tbh I don't think it'll be Buttigieg

 

...unless he tones down the perceived "pretentiousness," I'm sorry and I know it sounds ridiculous but that would be a factor... I mean if you read his book you might see what I mean. the American GP is stupidy, and he would throw a lot of them off. I think he could win if he finds a better way to appeal to a silly goofy GP

dgmw, I like him a lot and think he'd be an exceptional leader. but idk if the US is ready for someone that forward-thinking and speaking...

[DamianSolo]

It's possible, but highly unlikely simply due to circumstance. We're living in tumultuous times, anything is possible at any given moment.

[uusagii]

I just don't see it happening

 

[Gladiator]

I don't think America will have an openly gay president in any of our lifetimes.

Maybe if one day I decide to become a politician
