Republicans Gain Support With Gay Voters

While many Democrats accuse Republicans of being insensitive to minorities, gay voters obviously disagree. More of them voted Republican than in any of the past three congressional elections, according to a CNN exit poll,
Politico reports.

Republicans received support from 31 percent of gay voters Tuesday, up 4 percentage points from 2008, 7 points from 2006 and 8 points from 2004.

“The gay left would have you believe that gay conservatives don’t exist,” says GOProud Executive Director Jimmy LaSalvia in a statement. “Now we see that almost a third of self-identified gay voters cast ballots for Republican candidates for Congress in this year’s midterm.”

He says, “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.”
