More Americans Are Comfortable With A Gay Presidential Candidate Than With An Evangelical One

More Americans feel comfortable with a presidential candidate who identifies as gay or lesbian than with one who identifies as an evangelical Christian, according to a new poll.

The latest WSJ/NBC poll listed a series of qualities in a potential presidential candidate and asked respondents whether they'd "be enthusiastic," "be comfortable with," "have some reservations about" or "be very uncomfortable with" a candidate with each of those qualities.

The results revealed that Americans are actually quite open to having a gay presidential candidate. Sixty-one percent said they would be either enthusiastic about or comfortable with a gay or lesbian candidate, while only 37 percent said they would have reservations or be uncomfortable.

Bull-Dorkbamastuff.

What other evidence does one need America is a Post-Christian society. We are on the Western European path.

[Tudorfly]

This article is full of bull excrement. Pure fiction.

[Unam Sanctam]

The Left’s brainwashing program has worked enormously well.

[elhombrelibre]

Huffington is pushing this because of Hillary’s secrets.

[albie]

What use is a poll like this? Except to put Christians in their place? Is there a gay candidate?

[Louis Foxwell]

The article is pure bunk and the so called research is nonexistent. A perfect illustration of the fraud that is leftism.

[GodAndCountryFirst]

Yet another sign that we are in the End Times. Buckle your seatbelts!

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??!

[Travis McGee]

Natural laws learned over thousands of years were mocked, ridiculed, overturned, and even outlawed. Toward the end, homosexual drill sergeants prowled the barracks grooming receptive teenage recruits. Hey, we were told, it’s their business, and who are you to judge them? Later, they could get married in the post-interfaith worship center by a military spiritual advisor (“chapels” and “chaplains” having been purged from the lexicon for favoring the Christian faiths) and then move on to adopting children.

And finally, the last old-guard bunker to fall: the Boy Scouts, completing the cycle of government-approved sodomite corruption. For a century the Scouts were morally straight? According to whose definition of straight? So why shouldn’t adult homosexual Scout leaders share tents with teenagers in our brave new world? Don’t be a homophobe, we were told. Each child can make his or her own free choice about their gender identity, but now with helpful adult mentors to guide them along the formerly forbidden paths.

If it feels good, do it. Or have it done to you. Or even do it unto the little children. Tommy wants to become Tomasina before heading to kindergarten? Her brave new mommy agrees? A government-provided surgeon will perform the “gender reassignment” operation. And if kindergarten isn’t soon enough to put the kids on the unrepressed road to gender identification, then start them on Heather Has Two Mommies and Prince and Prince cartoon books in the government-subsidized day care centers.

Smiling experts assured us that we were merely throwing off the shackles of our repressed sexualities. Dissent is hate, and hate is not tolerated around here, mister, so shut up and get with the program. Well, I couldn’t get with the program, so I quit my public high school job. As a world history teacher, moving from a public school to a Christian academy (at less pay and fewer benefits) gave me a couple more years of insulation from the social wreckage cascading down.

I kept looking up for the big asteroid, but we didn’t need God to smite us from outer space. In the end, we smote ourselves with our hubris, believing that we were replacing God’s wisdom with our own. The proud decadence and in-your-face cultural perversions didn’t cause the Rupture, but they were surely flashing red signs warning that the end was near.

Possibly because the current excuse for a president is way light in his loafers.

[jjotto]

Well, William Jennings Bryan did ruin the evangelical political brand.

HuffPo is on hard drugs if they think Obama hasn’t done the same to the gay political brand. They’re hoping for the lez political sub-brand.

More god-less, Marxist, "progressive" Americans Are Comfortable With A Gay Presidential Candidate Than With An Evangelical One

Fixed it, now it makes sense.

[Gaffer]

Not because of any candidate that is specifically gay. Possibly because of the positions of some of the candidates regarding Gay marriage.

However, I think the primary reason is that they have NO substantive or arguable points against the ones of whom they are most afraid (and I don’t consider Huckster, Jeb, Rubio, and Paul in that group).

Basically, they want to diminish a candidate’s belief in God and to put it in the “religious nut job” pigeon hole. Secondly, by ooga-booga’ing topics like gay, religious or immigration, it allows them to conform any point they want good about Hillary....if it don’t fit, just wait, she’ll take your poll (or have you do it) and change her tune.

Especially since he's black. Actually, if he weren't black, he wouldn't have gone anywhere, so at this point the blackness is more important than the gayness.

[stockpirate]

They already have a homosexual president, Ofascist..

[ChildOfThe60s]

I’d be happy with anyone that is competent and does the job according to the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

What is so complicated and unreasonable about wanting that?

Is Hillary finally coming out?
