Silvy

I couldn't care less wether a public official has / prefers consensual heterosexual relationships or consensual homesexual relationships.
(guess what the operative word is )

I'm much more concerned with the goals and actions the person has / takes with regards to my situation, i.e. taxes, laws and the dealings of public resources, i.e. corruption, fair trade and such.

EDIT: sexual preference makes me focus on fairness, and openmindedness in de actions of the public official (I don't want to see a group of people being treated special by the public official just because of his sexual preference)
But the same goes for:
race, gender, being rich/poor, nationality, history, personality. It's just one of those properties in people that I take into consideration when judging their actions to see wether I agree ( == I think it's fair, I don't necessarily need to like it).
