“Most Americans, including minorities, are “conservative”, socially.”
I have to disagree with that.
If that were true we wouldn’t have seen the gay rights explosion we’ve seen in the last few years.
Gays in the military, and gay marriage.
I think maybe a majority of individuals lean socially conservative but vote more libertarian. In other words, it’s not for me but if you want to then go ahead.
People talk the talk because they're afraid to be seen as out of step.
But if its possible to have a frank discussion with them, ask a liberal if they'd like to see their son or daughter come out of the closet and you'll see what they really think about it.
