Poll: 50% of Americans Say They'd Vote for an Openly Gay President

A new poll from 60 Minutes and Vanity Fair asked if American voters would support an openly gay candidate for president, and exactly 50% of respondents said yes, sure, no problem.

So half the country is sensible enough to realize that sexual orientation has no bearing on a candidate's fitness for office, which is great, but the odds of an openly gay person winning the White House are still pretty low.

Let's face it: we haven't elected an unmarried president since Grover Cleveland's first term.
