Poll: Most Open to Gay Presidential Candidate

clipped from thinkprogress.org

A new Zogby poll finds 65 percent of U.S. voters say they “strongly” or “somewhat” agree that they could support an openly gay presidential candidate. Seventy-one percent also said that they could support the appointment of an openly gay Cabinet-level secretary. According to the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, more than “415 openly LGBT elected officials serve at every level of government throughout the United States, a ten-fold increase in just the last two decades.”

65% is pretty damned big and pretty damned surprising. It's also pretty cool.

Good on us...
