A new Zogby poll of 1,089 adults reveals that a majority of Americans would support an openly gay presidential candidate, according to the Victory Fund:
The Victory Fund adds: “More than 415 openly LGBT elected officials serve at every level of government throughout the United States, a ten-fold increase in just the last two decades. At the federal level, five openly gay or lesbian Members have served in the U.S. House of Representatives, including current Reps. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and Barney Frank of Massachusetts. Both are Democrats. No openly LGBT candidate has yet been elected to the U.S. Senate.”
