“Among gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender adults, 60% favor Obama, while 14% favor McCain. Three percent of GLBT adults favor Barr, while 1% choose Nader. Six percent choose “other,†while 17% of all GLBT voters are not yet sure which candidate to support…”
Interesting. I get the feeling though that those aren’t Baldwin voters. =P

The 6% is still hoping the former First Faghag pulls a coup in Denver…

Are the results different with GLBT children?

Sounds like Barr has some work to do. ;-\
Though to be fair, I don’t think the LP prez candidate ever scores terribly high among gay adults…conventional wisdom has it that they go Democrat, for whatever reason.
Actually it’s a little surprising that he gets any real points among gays, given his past.

I worked the local “Pride Fest” with our OPH/LPO booth this year. Thankfully, VERY few people remembered (or we re ever aware of) Barr’s past.
I suppose this makes the GLBT commmunity like the rest of America…not especially interested i n politics until a few days before the election.
PEACE
