Voting for someone simply because they are gay is wrong.

She's not gay - she's pro-gay.

But you're right - you should vote for her because her name is Buffie.

This is part of the reason gays cant and/or wont be taken seriously. :\

I think you're being a bit ridiculous here. There is nothing wrong about voting for someone who shares similar interests with you. In fact, its expected. Now if she was ugly and in a beauty pageant and you were only voting for her because she was aligned with your political view point, okay, I get that. But shes a pretty girl and its a major plus that shes running on a pro-LGBT platform. We need all the help we can get!

Lets not automatically judge gay people for looking out whats best for them, because otherwise, they'd still be persecuted and hiding...
