The fear among Democrats —usually unspoken, occasionally discussed quietly, that “America isn’t ready for a gay president, especially one who is married,” is nonsense. Those for whom that would be an issue will never vote for a D anyway.
The genuine “generational change” candidate and easily the best communicator with the right skills set to take on @realDonaldTrump is @PeteButtigieg. But I’m counting on Ds never to miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity to court the center.
This widespread indifference to the sexual orientation of individual candidates is, btw, completely consistent with the strongly held “textualist” view that “sex” In Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not apply to LGBTQ orientation: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
