you could have two gay men living together, never mentioning the wild, passionate, satisfying sex they have with each other (just as most heterosexual couples tend not to go public with that info), and one of them could run in the Republican primaries to be the Republican presidential candidate while their same sex partner stood by and supported him -- the way people involved with each other often do.

That's not making an issue of sexual orientation. It's just living your life without other people making an issue out of who you sleep with.

Sound good to you?

A politician might have a preference for unhealthy foods, but it's never an issue in a campaign.

A happily married heterosexual politician might have a preference for anal sex with his happily consenting wife (and ingest her feces when licking her butthole during foreplay), but not talk about it publically, and it would never be an issue in a campaign.

And a gay man might prefer only to have oral sex -- never anal sex -- with his lover.

WHY SHOULD ANY OF THIS BE AN ISSUE IN A CAMPAIGN?

Do you really want reporters repeatedly asking GW and Laura Bush if they have anal sex?
