I wonder how long that will go on being true. It was once the case that you had to have served in the military too, even if only as a reservist (Bush II). But Clinton was a draft dodger and Obama prefers to send in the drones. One day America will elect a woman president, then a gay president, then a lesbian president.

Homophobic people are less scared of lesbians. They "can understand" why women would want to be with women. So I'd bet that the US will have a lesbian president before a gay male president.

I bet the US has already had a gay male president.

Hmm, possibly. I just figured lesbian=gay + female and America won't let go of two prejudices in one go, it'll take time.
