What strange bedfellows politics makes; take the curious case of gay conservatives.  Both the gay left and the professional anti-gay industry in this country would have you believe that the gay community is homogenous.  Both the gay left and the anti-gay-for-pay right want Americans to believe that the gay community is uniformly liberal, slavishly loyal to the Democratic Party, and unquestioning in their allegiance to the “progressive” agenda.  Both treat the idea of gay conservatives as a novelty, political unicorns.  The reality, of course, is nothing near what this political odd couple would have you believe — indeed 27% of self-identified gay and lesbian voters chose John McCain and Sarah Palin in 2008.  That’s a figure that translates to roughly 1.7 million gay votes for McCain/Palin.  If gay conservatives are unicorns, our herd is huge. (more)

The movement to legalize gay marriage has gained significant momentum in recent years. Seven states have legalized same-sex marriage since 2004, and the percentage of Americans who answer “yes” when asked if they support gay marriage has risen dramatically since pollsters first began regularly asking the question fourteen years ago. Conservatives, however, remain staunchly opposed to the practice, which many fear will undermine conservative values and principles. According to a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted last year, 80 percent of self-described conservatives oppose legalizing gay marriage — compared to only 23 percent of self-described liberals and only 46 percent of self-described moderates. (more)

When I read the wonderful debate between Kerry Howley, Todd Seavey and Daniel McCarthey about whether or not libertarians have an obligation to stake out opposition to social and cultural oppression, rather than only to governmental oppression, I was fascinated. Hooked. All three were articulate and I commend to you the link, again. (more)
