That is the portion of the vote that went to Republican House candidates last month...by gay and lesbian voters. For Republican Senate candidates, it was 25%. Two years ago 23% voted to re-elect President Bush (even after his proposal to defile the Constitution with hatred).
In the overall realm of things those numbers are pretty anemic; and perhaps in many instances the Republicans these gay and lesbian voters supported were more on the liberal side; and although I have done it only sparingly, I am not against supporting the occassional Republican candidate. (An aside: I have never supported one at the federal level.)
But after all the Republican Party has done over the last 6 to 12 years to demonize us and turn the clock back on all we've worked for...I don't know...25% seems like an awfully high level of support.
