Why do so many Gays like Obama ?
I attended a meeting about a year ago at the New York City GLBT Center in Manhatten, and I had a discussion with a group of gay/bi teens. One of the topics was who we would vote for, and much to my surprise, I was the only one who was willing to vote for Hilary out of my group session.
The other guys were like "Obama is such a cutie" etc. typical gay lingo, and I was like "wtf...no he's not", and so on.
And they were pretty much just going to vote for him because they think he is handsome. And no, they were not all black or latino, most of my group were white kids...so i wondored, what was it about him that made him SO damn appealing to my gay butt buddies ?
Obama isn't exactly against gay marriage, but neither is Hilary...
They are pretty close on many issues, and when I asked what reasons they support Obama, they just said "omg he would make such a good president, and hes so cute" etc.
So...I wondor. Why is that ? Any gay homos here have a similar opinion to what my discussion group spoke about ? Because I wasn't exactly seeing eye to eye on this issue.
And even if i DID think Obama was handsome, that's not reason enough for me to vote for him.
So far most of the Gay/Bisexual men I have spoken to support Obama, a few are voting for Hilary like me.
I wondor what the actual deal is here.....
