Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner — if I were a straight white man,” but he was “too big of a risk,” Harris continued.

She's correct. Don't you agree?

I don't know if she's homophobic or she's accusing most Democrats and Independents of being homophobic.
I mean she must be talking about people who would vote for her otherwise.
That's not the right
And you agree with her?

She's talking about people on the fence, who might be swayed one way or the other.

Just like some people didn't vote for her on the sole basis of her being a woman. I've seen interviews of people saying that they would vote for Harris, but that a woman just can't do the job of US president because they might cause a nuclear war because of "hormones". No joke.

Is she telling us she is homophobic?

She's obviously referring to the electorate at large. And given how tight elections are, a few swing voters who won't vote for a homosexual could very well make the difference.

I see. So you're okay with discrimination against gays when it could affect the outcome of an election. Thanks for clarifying

I did not say that. That's your asserstion. Don't pretend to portray my position.

Hey, she's just being honest right?
Let's take it to its logical conclusion, "We can't hire the gay man because it might be bad for business."

Why should someone's sexuality matter? Really?

It shouldn’t. If someone can do the job their sexual orientation is irrelevant. Kamala’s statement is blatant hypocrisy

I agree completely!

So youd have no problem voting for a gay president?

Hey! If he (or she) shared my values and did a good job, I wouldn't. Who cares who someone is attracted to? Not my monkey, not my circus.

Fun fact: It is speculated James Buchanan might have been gay. But it has never been proven. There's also rumors about Lincoln's sexual orientation. It really hasn't become a political issue, regarding sexuality, until the late 20th century, eh?

It didn't matter to the Biden Administration which picked many LGBT folks for a variety of positions. But it somehow mattered to Kamala Harris. Because votes.

She's not wrong. She's not saying that she thinks he's incapable or not a good person or something is wrong with his lifestyle. She's saying that being elected is as much a game of odds and appealing to as wide a swath of people as possible. Having a gay man as a vice president nominee would lose her more people than she gained as there are plenty of people who wouldn't elect a gay man AND a minority woman.

I'd like to think we will reach a point where we won't have to worry about such stupid things, but listening to a family member tell me across the July 4th table that they would never, ever vote for a woman for president... It's a factor that has to be accounted for. A minority female and gay ticket won't chip away at the Trump base.
