I have to say a lot of the potential male candidates for 2020 discussed on the Forum have been described as "too gay" to be on the national stage. I'm not someone who gets easily bent out of shape and I absolutely resent the 'PC police' but doesn't anyone else think it's really problematic to say things like that?
I say this as a gay man but also someone who wonders if people would say, "X is too black, Jewish, masculine, etc."
As for my comments, I'm simply referring to how the public would perceive them, and it isn't even based on my own perceptions. As I said, his Senate opponent basically implied he wasn't a man, you think Trump wouldn't get more vicious?
No I know that, and I'm not necessarily criticizing anyone for individually saying it knowing that the GOP would try to pounce on it, I guess I'm just venting aloud how painful it is to read that. I also worry that it's true and even in a Dem primary, people would be reluctant to support a "gay sounding" or "acting" man
