Neil Giuliano stays cautiously optimistic.<br /><br />Question: Will we ever have a gay President? <br />Neil Giuliano: Oh I think so. Yes, I don't think it's any time soon. I think we have to first be treated equally within society, and once we are treated equally within society we then have an opportunity for- to participate more fully. Think of it this way. There's over 500,000 elected official positions in the United States of America; 500,000 from local city council to water district to President of the United States. There's less than 300 who are openly gay or lesbian, bisexual or transgender. So that's a long way to go in terms of elected representation of a community that is certainly much larger than its elected representation is within that community. So we have a ways to go in that respect. But I think that day will come. <br /> <br />Recorded on: Mar 4 2008
