Does GOP = Grand Old Party or Gay Old Party

Read Time:1 Minute, 3 Second

Gay men, lesbians and bisexuals who self-identified to exit pollsters made up 3 percent of those casting ballots in House races on Tuesday, and 31 percent of them voted Republican. By itself, that number is amazing, especially when you consider that way too many people think being gay and voting Democratic are one in the same. But that percentage is ominous news for a White House viewed with suspicion by many gay men and lesbians, because that’s four percentage points higher than the change election of 2008.

Jimmy LaSalvia, Executive Director of the gay conservative group GOProud, is heralding the uptick in votes from gay men, lesbians and bisexuals for Republicans.

“The gay left would have you believe that gay conservatives don’t exist. Now we see that almost a third of self-identified gay voters cast ballots for Republican candidates for Congress in this year’s midterm,” continued LaSalvia. “This should be a wake-up call for the out-of-touch so-called leadership of Gay, Inc. in Washington, D.C., which has become little more than a subsidiary of the Democrat Party.”

Maybe this is a protest vote because of the DADT fiasco. What next, Atheists for Jesus.

GOproud is hated by the righties, because they have “teh ghey”. They will never be the group HRC is and this was a protest vote by LGBT community. Both my aunts voted a straight republican ticket this last election as a protest, to show dems they can’t have the votes. Now they are in CA which is a good state to launch something like this, but in a little state where a couple votes makes a difference, not so good.

Why in the world would a gay person vote for a Bible-Banging, gay hating Right winger? People are such a puzzle.

We’ve all seen cases of “bible thumpers” who come across as ultra-conservative and even anti-gay until they’re caught in the backseat with a same-sex prostitute–but then again, those who turn to the republican party out of self-loathing for personal homosexual tendencies would seem unlikely to self-report as gay in these exit polls. This may remain a puzzle to me.
