A GAY PRINT? THE MAJORY OF AMERINS BELIEVE THE UNTRY ISN’T READY

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.

OPN AMERI HAS ALREADY HAD 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. Today, about a quarter of all voters (cludg 10% of Democrats) told Qunipiac that they weren’t open to vote for a gay man for print. Prejudice agast gay Amerins is evint other pollg as well.

Now, Amerins have certaly bee more fortable wh the ia of a gay print than they ed to be. The percentage of Amerins who say they would vote for a gay person for print is up 15-20 pots sce 2007, pendg on the poll you look at.

The percentage of Democrats who say they would vote for a gay person for print is up around 25 pots. Further, ’s possible that if Buttigieg be succsful on the mpaign trail, then Amerins may bee even more open to the ia of a gay print.

Days later, Limbgh, who has a history of makg racist, sexist and anti-LGBTQ remarks on his show, me unr fire aga for a homophobic rant durg which he mocked Buttigieg’s masculy and nclud of his ndidacy: “Ameri’s still not ready to elect a gay guy kissg his hband on the bate stage print.
