That is how much all people hate gay people in this country.
I take issue with that statement
Yes there are a LOT of freaking neanderthals who have American citizenship, that is a fact that I won't argue
but, when I think about the support for gay rights in the 80s and the 90s...well god damn we've come a long way baby
It was less than 30 years ago when 80% of people would say it's an abomination and those people could legitimately be jailed or killed
now part of the issue is the people who actually vote
the thing that makes Mayor Pete so appealing is he doesn't give off the stereotypical gay typecast vibes and he can speak extremely eloquently and sound like the foremost expert on any topic
and unlike most dems, he doesn't back down to opposition even the slightest
