And they've never had a homosexual monarch OR Prime Minister. You're probably thinking of Pim Fortuyn, who was basically the Straha of the Netherlands.

I find that comment offensive. Pim Fortuyn almost became prime minister in 2002.

He was Straha in popular politician form, entirely: racist, pro-segregation, yet socially liberal, and inclined to make idiotic or trollish remarks. Yes, he was a prominent gay politician, but that doesn't somehow redeem him any more than Al Sharpton being a prominent black politician redeems him.

And, no, he didn't "almost become Prime Minister". He was popular, but was nowhere near winning the election - until after he was assassinated, and then his party got enough sympathy votes to eke out second.

No clue. But it'll be a closeted Republican that'll get outed.

No Jim McGreevey? Wink

German women think a gay chancellor is OK by 83-15 and men by 75-23. In the former West-German states the acceptance is at 87%, in the former East-German states it stands at 77%.

Surprising, considering the levels of religion in each.

Religion plays an incredibly small role in European politics as a whole.

More importantly, atheists in East Germany tend to be the unreformed communists, who are also very socially intolerant.

"Unreformed communists"? Lol.



Hey, not all of them, but who would you say votes for Die Linkspartei? Socially conservative atheists are well-documented in the vast majority of former communist states, and East Germany is no exception.

I don't think I've ever posted in this thread. None of them will ever become President, but I think Crist would do a great job (so would Kolbe, actually).

Why in the name of common sense do you have David Drier and John Edwards on your list?

By the way, America will never elect an openly gay President.

Drier was outed in 2004. His chief of staff pretty much admitted to being his lover, though Drier himself has never commented.
