ConservaTeen-I have a question that I would like some insight on from someone your age. Why is this issue (gay rights) so vital to young people when there are so many more pressing issues that face the country and impact our daily life, no matter what your sexual orientation is?

Is it though? Too much talk about gays turns off younger voters, but I don't think they're voting on that basis. Too much talk about marijuana has the same effect.

Too much public moralism about private life, too much talk about how everything went wrong in the 1960s, ditto. If that was before you (or your parents) were born, you tune out talk like that.

ConservaTeen said that his friends who are Democrats are Democrats only because of support for gays. In my interactions with young people, I’ve found the same thing to be true for the most part. They definitely aren’t voting for Democrats based on Keynesian economics, and most of them don’t support abortion. And yet...

The people who are moralizing about private life are on the left.

What he was saying is that the millennials are not interested about lifestyle. They want to be safe from terrorism, they want to keep their hard earned money and to keep illegals out.

I'm glad ConservaTeen wrote it. He is worried that the Republicans aren't trying to get the millennial votes. I agree.

Well said.
