The US is far too homophobic to have a gay person in office. They don't even support gay marriages.

TOatally agree, with BUsh's catholic opinions that he forces on us, we may never all have the heart to let someone different in office, even when we should

I can't stand the US. Things are banned because of the lack of seperation of state and religeon.

REligion is supposivly not imposed according to congress, but I truley feel other wise because most of are state and country desions are based on things in the Christian/Catholic religion, which is what the president supports.

Sadly, I doubt that it'll happen anytime soon! The States are just not ready for it yet! Too many traditional thinking people IMO! If the Democrats were to nominate a gay candidate, they'd be handing the Republicans another term IMO! Heck, there hasn't even been a Female nor Black U.S. President yet ... well if you discount T.V. (ie: 24, Commander-in-Chief, an episode of the Simpsons) and movies (Mercury Rising) ... and even at that, it would be a huge leap for the U.S.!

I know, if they had there way, the gay community wouldn't even exist.

If the US was more open minded, we could be a true country, and maybe be liked by other countries.

If only. We haven't even had a non-christian president, a woman, or a minority, let alone a gay person. It's a great dream though, and i'll do all i can to support.

I know. I mean, they act like the people at my school. They think that if a gay person comes in and does a little bit, that they will come in and take over, and turn everyone gay. It pathetic, really.

I'm sure someone that's gay will run, but I don't know that they will be out or win!
