    it has likely massively hurt their prospects as a politician

    Or, the complete opposite.

    Do you think there’s any way Pete, the mayor of a town of 100,000 people, would have become a national presidential candidate if he wasn’t gay?

      Absolutely. Hes one of the best communicators in the party. Dude is a fantastic surrogate. Especially when you send him into unfriendly territory. I’m not going to say he’s the right pick for VP (I have some problems with his policy background), but acting like he’s only where he is because of his sexuality is fucking stupid.
