Are lesbians more left wing then gay males?

[NewEnglandRepublican]

Wonder

[OSR stands with Israel]

The Female vote in General is more left wing than the Male Vote so probably

[dead0man]

I agree.  I would assume lesbians are more left wing than gays.  I also assumed this would be easy to find, and I was wrong.  Perhaps my Google Fu is weak this morning (I just woke up, it's morning to me damn it!).

I've never met a log cabin Republican woman. Anecdotal but...

[Horus]

Yes, but there are definitely conservative lesbians out there, many of them in police work.

[Meclazine for Israel]

I have found my lesbian friends (2) are more left wing in terms of immigration policy.

[Progressive Pessimist]

I would think so, just by virtue of women being more Democratic friendly in general. But there is (allegedly) Kay Ivey now. So there's at least one.

I only know one lesbian and she’s conservative but might also be bi. Gay guys probably skew one way or another based on trope. Like bears and tops are definitely more republican than twinks and bottoms

I honestly can't tell with the people I know. I think the experience of being an LGBT woman could possibly lead to more socially liberal positions, or perhaps a stronger, unwavering lean on stuff, but I don't know if that is ubiquitous. The best example I can think of is the wife of a friend who got married last year, she is a white college educated (post-grad with a JD, iirc) lawyer who is a lesbian, and I'd say she is left of center on most things but a rabid leftie on certain social issues. Although I could easily see her supporting single payer and higher taxes on the wealthy. This isn't all that different from straight women of similar professions or education, though.

Other than that though, I don't always talk enough politics to gauge with everyone. I don't think it would be fair to say more left-wing across the board, though. It might just apply to certain issues.

This is probably the right answer.

I'd imagine this. Is there a Milo like figure for lesbians? (Not saying Milo is representative of gay conservatives either.)

The ones I find interesting are Transsexual conservatives. Caitlin Jenner, I suppose.  I've known very few of them and they were in large part pretty strongly a left wing group, though this is of course anecdotal. The only exception was an open and admitted nazi, oddly enough.

I have never met a conservative lesbian. Being from the south, a majority of the gays I know are conservative.

Tammy Bruce is a more PG-13 version of Milo.

As a gay man in Southeast Missouri, I would say about half of gay men I know are Republican whereas maybe one or two lesbians I know are conservative. Not a great sample but I would guess that gay men skew more conservative than lesbians.

I dearly hope someone has done a thesis on investigating this.

[BlueSwan]

There are certain segments of male gay culture that seems to be quite materialistic, which I guess in isolation is a factor at least somewhat associated with being right wing.

The quoted poster is probably quite ignorant on lgbtq issues, but I agree

How many bears and twinks are you hanging around with to know this?

[nclib]

Likely, but there is probably less gap between lesbians and gay males, than between straight men and straight women.

[Horus]

Tops are definitely not more likely to be Republican. I'm sure bears are but who needs them anyways?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Imo tops are more socially conservative while bottoms are more fiscally conservative

Power Bottoms were a notorious swing demographic starting in the 1950’s and were crucial to powering GOP victories in the 1960’s and 70’s. Starting in 1980 with the Reagan Revolution though this group felt alienated by the increasing overt power of the religious right but not in a fun way. Coupled with this was the fact that power bottoms became increasingly college educated, while collar, and urbanized. These were all demographics that the GOP have lost ground with and as a result they became more Democratic.

Up until 2016, power bottoms were a solid thrusting force for the Democratic Party to rely on. However Donald Trump was able to make some appeal to this group with his tougher rhetoric on Law and order/immigration and swayed some of them to his coalition. A lot of variables could make or break this group but the key will be in the House races this year. MN-1, NV-3, and NH-1 all have strong concentrations of power bottoms and could break their down-ballot Dem preference if they feel as though Donald Trump has delivered for them.

Long term however I expect this group to become a swing demographic. I believe that the macroeconomic trends will cause a realignment sometime in the 2020’s which will make white collar urbanized power bottoms a group negatively affected by increased tax rates from a Bernie Sanders style Democratic Party. With that you’ll see a slow R trend culminating in current trends we’re seeing right now with Trump’s law and order platform and later on they’ll be pushed even harder R from Bernie style democrats alienating a segment of them into the GOP coalition.

Beautiful.

Twinks and Bottoms and Bears, Oh my!
