Who cares what her sexual orientation is? This article is why there is a problem. It wold have been a news story is actually came out and said she was heterosexual. But then again who cares. As a nation we had better start thinking about things that do matter. Economy, foreign relations, jobs .... there are a thousand things we actually need to focus on before this.
