    We can have a gay president if we have a qualified one, question is, there was no gay candidate, i don't mind voting for a gay candidate as long as he has the merit.

    why cant we have a gay president? it shouldnt matter because we shouldn't choose our presidents based on sexual preference, we should choose based on competence regardless of gender. i pray we don't vote for people just because they are gay or just because they are ilocano, just because they grew up poor or any other label we may put on people, i pray we judge people as an individual and seek competence, leadership and empathy so we can have the best and brightest at the helm of the country.

    we can have a gay president if someone out there will love to serve and do what best to our country being as a president, posibleng iboto ko sya... kahit na may discrimination pa sa ganyang idea...
