Will the first gay President be a republican?

Asked by Captain_Fantasy (11447points) March 8th, 2010

We tend to think of the gay community as liberal but it seems like a high number of republicans are turning out gay. Who’d have thunk it?

How do you know we haven’t already had that?

Maybe who knows? It may be Camp David.

Will the first gay president be a man or a woman?

If we get a gay female minority we’ll have the hat trick.

Hmm… Could we have had a gay President already? Maybe it was Reagan…

Isn’t Obama a gay Republican?

From what I understand, James Buchanan was supposed to be gay; his VP was the rather open for the time Rufus King. Their respective nieces burned their correspondence to each other once both were dead.

If you mean openly gay? Yeah, I reckon it’ll be a Log Cabin person. Probably a woman.

I actually hope so. Maybe it would send the religious right into a permanent catatonic state, once and for all.

Yes, He was a Republican. It was Gerald Ford.

My guess is that we’ve already had a gay president.

I’m not sure, but one thing I do know, it won’t be in my lifetime.

I guess the question should be “Openly gay president”
