Gays Explain "Why I Voted Republican"

submitted by NetRunner

1 decade 3 years 4 months 2 weeks ago

From YT: On the show two days after Election Day 2010 and the Republican takeover of the House, I asked those LGBT people who voted Republican to call in to the show and explain why. Exit polling had shown gay, lesbian, bisexual voters cast a ballot for Republicans in double the numbers from 2008: from 19% to 31%. And yet, the Republican takeover means there will be no votes on anything pro-gay. The same is true in statehouses across the country. The phones lit up with people who voted GOP, for David Vitter LA, for Rand Paul in Kentucky, for Rick Scott in Florida, and for various other House and local races. Here are few of those calls, two from Kentucky and one from Maine, where the caller voted for Paul LePage, the Republican governor-elect who has actually said that that Maine Human Rights Act -- which gives basic anti-discrimination protection to gays, needs to be revisited, in addition to be against marriage equality, which Maine could have been on the brink of voting in again if Republicans didn't take the statehouse and the governorship for the first time since 1964.
