hateful and such), but one poster thought that no way Mayor Pete would win, and that we need to make sure that rump is taken out of office by an electable candidate (they were wanting an established candidate and such, my response was what happens if Major Pete actually wins primaries?).

The other poster finally quit beating around the bush and said that because Mayor Pete is gay, that he wouldn't have a chance.

Both fair and honest opinions. I did tell the 2nd poster to come on out and say the reason they had was that he was 'gay' (they couldn't say the word 'gay' perhaps because they might have thought that they would be perceived as homophobic or such). I can understand that.

It's possible that some could feel this way, believe it or not, a lot of people haven't really had the experience of dealing w/ a 'gay' person (could be in their environment these people are still in the closet, etc.). This is a learning experience (or will be) for a lot of people.
