I imagine the backlash would have been similar to what happened when the Dixie Chicks said they were ashamed George W. Bush was from Texas (and yes it did involve some album burning).

That's a pretty bad analogy. Up until last year, the Democratic party didn't support gay marriage. That didn't stop anyone earlier. Also, there are gay Republicans. I know you may find it hard to believe, but they exist.

I do believe she would have been shunned in a similar way, that's all I'm saying. There's no use arguing over that since neither of us will ever know who's right (unless she somehow backs the next Republican presidential candidate).

While we may never know for sure, I'm pretty confident that you're right. It might not have been a career-ending backlash or anything, but it almost certainly would have existed.
