Catherine the Great, Queen Elizabeth I, Margaret Thatcher, Joan of Arc, Marie Curie, Mother Theresa...these were all horrible leaders in your mind? It is not impossible for women and gay men to be both capable leaders and right-leaning instead of left-leaning. Right-wing ideologies are not necessarily about traditional social roles. Traditionalism does not belong solely to the right; it comes in many forms. Forced traditionalism, though, that's just authoritarianism. If that's what you're advocating, then just come out and say it and stop using traditionalist conservatives as cover. You're literally advocating executing gays that have "come out." If that's not authoritarianism, I don't know what is.

I asked about what leadership is to you, not what it isn't. Your immigration non-sequitur notwithstanding. If all it takes to be a good leader is to shut the borders of your country to immigrants, then there are a bunch of Central American presidents that fit that bill. You don't find it extremely narrow-minded to assume that agreeing with you on one policy issue makes someone a good leader?
