Gays as a voting bloc

[Supersonic]

If I remember rightly the Republicans have held between 20-25% of the LGBT vote since 1996. Even Bush won 20% I think..
Although in answer to your question, the Republicans won't outright seek a group of voters when their current base is opposed to things such as same sex marriage etc. Also, from what I've read on LGBT forums when Republicans do endorse things such as gay marriage, many people are dismissive of their attempts, think it's mere pandering and/or say the GOP are the 'party of the rich' or some stuff like that. Plus at it's heart, the LGBT group is a minority, and a collective community, two things which tilt them towards the Democrats. Those who don't identify with this collective community are the Republican LGBT voters, and there is always a good quarter of them. Plus I imagine some of them are wealthy and socially secure, therefore they have 'nothing to gain' so to speak by voting Democratic. I can see the LGBT Republican vote gradually increasing though as time goes on.

That's just my two cents.
