First off, I’m straight but I couldn’t care less if someone around me is gay. I do believe in the no means no rule though. If I’m approached by a gay man and tell him no but he continues to hit on me then that would be sexual harassment plain and simple. Same rule applies to me if I meet a woman and she tells me no, that she prefers other women.(Or for any other reason as well.)
As to elected officials, they are elected to represent their constituents, not to push some personal agenda. If they ran on the platform of advancing gay rights and do so that is their business but make it plain how they stand on an issue. Don’t lie just to get in where you can do what you please. That is why I don’t trust Romney and I’m worried Genrich isn’t much better. Not that they are gay or straight, just that they would lie to get elected. Will Romney actually do what he says he will or will he flip flop around again? Has Newt actually found religion or did he switch because he wanted that pretty little Catholic girl and thought it would impress her?
In other words, do what you want on your own time but just don’t lie about it and do what you were elected to do not some hidden agenda of your own.
