Gay people and their allies vote

[ruggerson]

This is not a pissing match between Obama, Clinton and Edwards supporters.

This is about political reality.

4-6% of the electorate in the last three presidential election cycles self identified to exit pollsters as gay or lesbian.

Presumably the number is even higher, since many people would not feel comfortable answering that question from a pollster.

We vote overwhelmingly Democratic.

Whomever is our nominee will not win the White House back without us.

We seem to be the very last group for whom it is still okay to offend, ignore or abuse.

That is not a good or wise or strategically smart political strategy for ANY democratic candidate or their supporters.

Not smart at all.
