Will the religious right give us America’s first gay president?

Well, probably not our first.  But still, it's bizarre that the Christian right is rallying around the one guy in the GOP field, Texas Governor Rick Perry, who's been dogging rumors for years that he's gay.  Then again, they never were the smartest bunch (they totally believed former GOP party chair Ken Mehlman when he told them years ago to ignore the rumors that he was gay - he is gay, and recently came out). And while I'm sure Team Perry will try to spin this as just another "birther"-type conspiracy, as I said years ago during all the speculation about Mehlman, when there's this much chatter about a guy being gay, it often ends up being true.
