PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender remain significantly more likely than non-LGBT Americans to identify as Democrats. More than six in 10 LGBT Americans identify as Democrats or are Democratic-leaning independents, while 21% identify with or lean toward the Republican Party. Non-LGBT Americans are more evenly divided in their politics, tilting just slightly more Democratic than Republican.



The political orientation of LGBT individuals is virtually unchanged since Gallup's June-September 2012 report, when 21% identified as Republicans, and 65% as Democrats.

These results are based on 88,802 Gallup Daily tracking interviews conducted between Jan. 2 and June 30, 2014. In this period, 3.6% of adults who were asked the political questions identified themselves as "lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender." Self-reported LGBT status has been generally stable in Gallup polling since October 2012, when 3.4% of all adults identified as LGBT.

"Less than 3 percent of the U.S. population identify themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Tuesday in the first large-scale government survey measuring Americans’ sexual orientation."

There seems to be an incredible amount of attention given to what in fact is a microscopic segment of the American population, isn't there?

Regardless of anyone’ sexuality, or anything else, there is no reason that I can think of at all for anyone to align with the GOP.

They stand for nothing, have no beliefs, lie to their voters, then stab them in the back.

DING DING DING.

That’s what this whole mess comes down to.
Christ vs Anti-Christ

[MrB]

They have beliefs - they believe they can run the big centralized gov’t better than the democrats.

[chris37]

Fair point.

Another way to look at it is:

The Holy vs the assholy

Wow! REALLY? Now who woulda thunk that?

So when the poll is between democrat and republican you go democrat, got it.

[chris37]

No, pumpkin.

There are exactly two groups in this country.

The Subjects and the Rulers.

I am in the Subjects as are you and most of the rest of us.

The others that remain are the Rulers.

The words “Democrat” and “Republican” are lies, and they hold no meaning whatsoever.

As long as you give weight to those words, you hold no hope at all of escaping being a subject of the Rulers.

Time to wake up, but I don’t think you can, you don’t seem capable of seeing reality.

You can go cry to a mod now, goodbye.

I really wish they would all just go away.

Your posts don’t make sense, living in a state of anger seems to shut off thinking for you.

Post 29 should not have proven so overwhelming to you to cause such a personal reaction.
