38. It shouldn't be, sure
And it isn't anywhere near as much now as it used to be. Like I said, we are more acclimated to divorced politicians than we are to single Presidents. I think a gay or lesbian should be able to be President if they are the best man or woman for the job. And many more people agree with me now than ten years ago. Of course there is far far less bias against divorced and single men running for President now than there would be against a gay or lesbian, but that is not the same as no bias. We are talking on the margins here, matters that might swing 2% to 5% of the vote one way or another.
