People in the 1980s probably thought America would never have a black president.

With regards to the question at hand, I'd say it would be no doubt be a liberal Dem.

The problem is, who will it be? Also can this person win in this country's environment?

Problem is, Black people make up about 14% of the total population. LGBT people make up at most 2%. So the odds are way lower. Also, there's likely not going to be a presidency 60+ years down the line.

You are unforunately right about that. Plus the qualified field for LGBT politicians is much low. The only one that could be qualified to run would be Kate Brown or Oregon. Annise Parker would've been up there had she decided to hold another political office after leaving the mayor's office in Houston.

Historically, an inordinate amount of famous people have been LGB if they are 2% of the population. As views change, people will be more open to the idea, so even this inordinate amount would increase.

To be clear: I am not saying you are right. I am simply saying if you are right.

Famous people being defined as?


A few I can think of are...

Neil Patrick Harris
Ellen DeGeneres
Jim Parsons
Ellen Page
Jason Collins
Anderson Cooper
Harvey Levin
Nate Silver
