I wish I could be optimistic and believe that the country is tolerant enough to vote an openly gay man president, but as a fag living in north Florida I am nothing but doubtful.
Society has become a lot more polite towards gay people in the last decade or two, but in general there’s a lot of so called “open minded” individuals who don’t seen gays as equal counterparts to straight men. A lot of these people aren’t even aware they have this
prejudice/bias, but I experience it often. They keep us around for entertainment and fashion, but it’s hard to be taken seriously as a strong and capable leader.
