Jimmy Carter is putting the out in outspokenness.
In an interview with bigthink.com, the former president was asked, “Is the country ready for a gay president?”
Even as John McCain and other ossified Republicans were staging last-minute maneuvers to torpedo the “don’t ask, don’t tell” repeal, the 86-year-old Carter was envisioning a grander civil rights victory.
“I would say that the answer is yes,” he said. “I don’t know about the next election, but I think in the near future.”
The news that Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer will smooch in an upcoming movie about J. Edgar Hoover and his aide Clyde Tolson — buried near each other in the Congressional Cemetery on Capitol Hill — is a reminder of an “Advise and Consent” Washington where being a closeted gay official made you vulnerable to blackmail.
Others feel we’re not ready for a gay president, citing the fear and loathing unleashed by the election of the first black president. “Can you imagine how much a gay president would have to overcompensate to please the macho ninnies who control our national debate?” Bill Maher told me. “Women like Hillary have to do it, Obama had to do it because he’s black and liberal, but a gay president? He’d have to nuke something the first week.”
I called Barney Frank, assuming the gay pioneer would be optimistic. He wasn’t. “It’s one thing to have a gay person in the abstract,” he said. “It’s another to see that person as part of a living, breathing couple. How would a gay presidential candidate have a celebratory kiss with his partner after winning the New Hampshire primary? The sight of two women kissing has not been as distressful to people as the sight of two men kissing.”

POP, a Poem by Barack Obama
Pop takes another shot, neat,
Points out the same amber
Stain on his shorts that I’ve got on mine, and
Makes me smell his smell, coming
From me
I knew it was bad, but I thought “they” purged everything. You and some others posted some really good material today!!
So what if the military and intelligence go the way of the catholic church ?
What if they start abducting and raping people on the sly ?
Our asses are no longer safe.
And what about the enemy - if they ain’t homo I would still want to protect them from molestation or degradation by military homosexuals.
Should homosexuals do interrogations etc on non-homosexuals etc ?
How sad is it when identifying onesself by where one likes to stick one’s provate parts for pleasure is considered a good thing.
Bump
I guess they meant “an Out gay President.” You don’t get a lot gayer than Obama.
Is there any evidence that Buchanan was queer? Being a bachelor doesn’t count.
I have to say, the “obligatory” photo of Mrs. Douglas is the best reason to tolerate a Maureen Dowd thread...
