A GAY PRINT? THE MAJORY OF AMERINS BELIEVE THE UNTRY ISN’T READY
Lil Nas X, a gay Black artist, was booted om the untry charts when his song “Old Town Road” went viral; he was only allowed back when he rerd a remix of the song wh untry artist Billy Ray Cys. Poll of the week: A new Qunipiac Universy poll fds that 70% of voters (cludg 86% of Democrats and pennts who lean Democratic) say they are open to electg a gay print.
The same poll also disvered, however, that only 36% of voters (cludg 40% of Democrats and pennts who lean Democratic) thk the Uned Stat is ready to elect a gay print. He is a married gay man. It’s also possible that some voters are not willg to adm to homophobia, while signalg by sayg sentially, “I’m ready, but others may not be.
I should note that pollg on whether the untry is ready for a gay print differs signifintly om pollg on whether Amerins thought the untry was ready for a black print 2007 or a woman print 2015. Intertgly, all three stanc, more voters said they were ready for a black, female or gay print than thought the untry was ready for one. But even if Amerins are more tolerant of gay Amerins than voters thk they are, more are prejudiced agast gay Amerins than they were agast black Amerins 2007 or women 2014.
