This forum is dedicated to psephology and the reasons why a member of the LGBT community would vote for a member of a party who consider them to be immoral sodomites should naturally interest us just as the reasons why we'd be interested in understanding the voting behavior of the few southern whites in rural areas who voted for Obama.
I'm not saying the question was stupid, but rather most answers so far was. It's absolutly legit to discuss why some LGBT voters decide to down-prioritate gay-rights in favour of other issues. When people seem to explain it by them only being "self-loathing" on the other hand.
I don't know where a 'social democratic agenda' comes from. Gay marriage isn't a left or a right or a centre issue; it's a universal issue.
Exactly. Your oppinion on gay-rights doesn't affect your oppinion on other issues. So if you're strongly Conservative on other issues why should you not be allowed to vote for Repulicans without being self-loathing. Especially considering that up until very recently Democrats was rather shy in their support for LGBT-rights.
Maybe not all gays are stero-typical effeminate hippie pofters.
That's some awfully inflammatory language, friend.
It was ment to catch attention. Didn't mean to offend anyone. (Well maybe Marokai)
Personally I find the notion that people aren't allowed to vote a certain way because of their sexuality more offensive. Besides pofter isn't a slur, now if I've had used two 'o's in there...
