Video: Texas voters say they wouldn’t vote for ‘a known heterosexual’ for President

[TexasTowelie]

These voters in the US state of Texas apparently got in a bit of a mix up when they were asked whether they would vote for a heterosexual candidate for US President.

So used to stating that they would not vote for a gay candidate, the respondents in this video state their opposition to “a known heterosexual.”

One man goes on to say some scary things about what he would do to gay people, given the chance.

The video was posted by YouTuber Joseph Costello, and was recorded in Austin, Texas.

1. the scary thing is that these people are allowed to vote.

The Know-Nothings have won.

2. Austin, mind you

Meanwhile, a Politix poll (for those unfamiliar, Politix is an "opt-in" national polling outfit that over-represents the very, very conservative POV) has 62% of respondents saying they would vote for an atheist for president. Texas is in the minority on that one as well.

No survey question about whether Politixers would vote for an LBGTQ person as president. (Everybody already knows the answer to that one.)
