(11,945 posts)So you are the nice man who was speaking on Fox and Friends? And your husband died of liver cancer? And you are a Hillary supporter?
Well, you speak well and seem likable. I'm very sorry for your loss, a very, very painful thing you both went through, and it is so hard to go on after a loss like that. My most long-time best friend was a wonderful gay man who died of a heart attack ten years ago, and I'll never stop missing him. The world is just not the same without him, and when I die I hope to connect with his sweet soul again, if that is possible. He was a devout Catholic, with certain reservations after coming out, but I know he would have been keenly interested in the news of the Pope's visit, and so I've been thinking of him all day.
But I can't understand why you're backing Hillary when she only became enlightened on LGBT issues fairly recently after it was politically acceptable to do so, while Bernie has always favored complete equality for LGBTs. She's a fair-weather friend who cares mainly -- or even solely -- for herself. Bernie has been in your corner from the get-go. He wouldn't sell you out for political advantage.
Or maybe you chose her because you think she's the only Democrat who can win? Or some other reason? It just seems puzzling...
