NHPR newsie in Orlando Florida is interviewing a "representative" voter. Didn't give his name. It became clear listening to this guy that he is gay, and pretty much all his waking thoughts are about his gayness and how it effects his life, his relationship with his mother and family, and the world in general. It's hard for me to take this guy as representative of the typical Orlando (or anywhere else) voter. Real people have other concerns than their sexual identity in their lives, stuff like jobs, sports, hobbies, cars, politics, computers, music and more. All this guy could talk about was his sexual identity.
Granted that being gay can bring unusual stresses. But 95% of the population is straight, and has interests other than sex and sexual identity.
I don't think this guy is representative of anybody except himself. And the NHPR newsies were too dumb or too PC to figure that out. Or they just wanted to put a gay guy on the air.
