you guys think a gay has a better shot than a woman?
(granted I think Pete is a far better candidate than Kamala otherwise)
Gays had the right to vote before blacks. Women trailed way behind both.
I don't see that as proof of anything. Some states had laws against homosexual activity on the books until 2003.
It’s obviously not proof of anything other than the fact that, even without any stigma attached, we thought it made good sense for a long time to not allow women to participate in politics.
So we shouldn’t assume that a woman president is more likely to happen than a gay president in our lifetime.
