It’s truly mind boggling.

Joe, are you so jaded that your reflexive response to those who seek to help you — conservative or liberal — are treated with suspicion and vitriol? How do you expect to grow your base of support in the South and Midwest when you respond as such?

My support for gay adoption and other gay rights issues are genuine, despite your unfounded misgivings of Republicans. Honestly, it’s not necessary to be such a twat.

John McCain picked up a decent swing to him from the gays for several reasons. McCain was not out there gay bashing. Even if it is for the wrong reasons, he did not support the FMA. His opposition to gay marriage is easily traceable not to religion, but to culture. Finally, many people in the LGBTQQIA community I talked to were very upset by Obama’s use of a couple prominent homophobes as voices throughout the years (See Donnie McClurkin and James Meeks). Perhaps that last is just Central Pennsylvania, but it is what it is.

Over the course of the election, Queerty had regular posting by racist trolls like Churchill-y, Men-sar, and RCPV. They all used blatantly anti-black racism for their feeling against Obama.

The “gay community” is a microcosm of the rest of the world. The same prejudices exist.

LOL. That’s a ridiculous media-creation, not real life.

No, the percentage of gay voters has held pretty steady at 4% for the past several elections.

Likely, McCain did much better than Bush because McCain didn’t run any anti-gay ads and tried as much as possible to not publicize his anti-gay positions. He also had goodwill held over from his strong opposition to the FMA.

As much as some in our community don’t like it, there’s nothing intrinsic to being same-sex attracted that makes one want to adopt liberal fiscal or foreign policy positions. There is no Democrat gene tied to a gay gene.

The reason that so many gays vote Democrat is due to the Partys’ history and position on gay issues. If Republicans stop gay-bashing, the gay vote would be evenly split within a decade as each party sought to appeal to gay voters (see the UK for an example).

“particularly when gay men and women represent the only demographic in which John McCain bested President Bush (27% to 19% based on exit polling)”

John McCain lost Bush’s gains in every single demographic, from southern Evangelicals to northeastern suburban soccer moms. Every single demographic except homosexuals where he came out 8% higher.

A good question. I wonder if part of it is that those who were inclined to let exit pollsters know they are gay in 2008 but not in 2004 tend to be more Republican voting. Is the percentage calling themselves GLBT increasing?

lol
