re: Mayor Pete Gaining Momentum

i’m just seeking to understand if what he does in the privacy of his bedroom alone would stop some of you from voting for him on moral grounds or whatever.

I believe your sincerity in asking this, because I've wondered the same thing.

I think it's a 100% non-negotiable deal killer for some. Like if the perfect candidate promised to hand deliver a check for $100k to every American citizen...but he liked to suck a little cock now and then, some people would refuse to vote for him.

We saw in 2008 that race considerations can/do override policy for some people. Some people voted for Obama simply because he was brown, and some people didn't vote for him for the exact same reason. We saw the same in 2016 with gender. I have no reason to believe that sexual preference would be any different.

A close family member of mine and his husband are goo-goo, gah-gah over Mayor Pete. I'd put $100 down that they know very little about him beside the fact that he's gay and a democrat. People align themselves with those who look like, act like, and think the way they do...irrespective of whether that person is qualified for a leadership position.
