are homosexuals more liberal than the general population?

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

The exit polls in 2000 and 2004 indicate that somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of gays voted for Bush.  I suspect that self-identifying Republicans would actually be a little higher than that (folks who regularly vote for GOP local candidates and moderate congressional candidates).

Gay men are probably more conservative than lesbians, though I actually know some very conservative lesbians.

There was actually a poll done a couple of years ago among gays and lesbians and it covered political ID topics - I'll have to dig around to find that though.
