Even if that person was clearly a better choice than the other opponent. If No than why?

Sure would. What he does on his own time is his own business. The fact that he's (or she's) gay, would not affect their decisions on how they run this country. And I'm not just saying that because I'm gay.

Definitely. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with a person's competence or ability to do the job, and given the choice between candidates that are otherwise equal I would always vote in favor of improved diversity among lawmakers, judges, prosecutors, etc. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights have been trashed enough by middle-aged white male Bible-thumpers.

DEFINITELY!! Because a gay presidential nominee would be much more open-minded than say... a Republican nominee?? I wish ex-NJ governor, James McGreevey, stayed on despite the scandal. He is smart and hot!!! So, a resounding YES!!!

I'd have to know more about the candiate's political views and ability to lead before I could say for sure. However, I would never decide NOT to vote for someone simply because he was gay or she was a lesbian.

For me, it would depend completely on his or her policies and whether he or she is the most qualified candidate to govern. Sexual orientation plays no role in favor or against.
Because of the nature of my previous job in government, I'm acutely aware that the personal lives of the candidates are relatively unimportant. Positions on policy issues are what matter.

I vote for a candidate based upon their stands on issues, not because of the race, gender, or sexual preference. The current level of mediocrity in all levels of government is because people vote for an image, not for what the candidates stands for or has accomplished.

Yes, as long as he or she had sound and rational plans for the country.
One has to wonder why some of the responders have to bring sex and God into the mix.

no. All major party candidates in the last 50 years or so have been approved by the "new world order" crowd. I understand them to be the enemies of truth and righteousness. I have decided that I will not support "the lesser of two evils". Thus rather than wasting my vote by voting for a republicrat (there is no significant difference between the two) I waste my vote voting for a libertarian.
