He served, was a naval intelligence officer, and has the backing of "more than 200 national security and foreign policy officials who endorsed his candidacy".
So I'm not worried about that part. I'm not entirely on the bandwagon just because we have so many really good candidates; he's one of about five I think we'd be in really good shape with if they won the primary race.

That's a wonderful, heartfelt story. Being gay doesn't mean he'd be a good president though.
