Exactly. In 2000, the gay vote went 25% for GWB, arguably handing him his margin of victory (1.1 million votes).

Now, I realize this is from the Republican gay group, but I haven't seen any other analysis of the gay vote.

Particularly interesting is the comparison between the gay vote for Bush (1.1 million) and the total vote for Pat Buchanan (@400,000). Suggests to me that tolerance is a winning political issue.

If anyone else has competing studies of the gay vote, I'd be interesting in seeing them
