LGBT voters broke 76 to 22 in favor of Obama

a 6% increase. With about 1000 LGBT people interviewed the MOE is about 3%. He got a gain clearly outside the MOE. He earned it. BTW it was the biggest increase outside of Asians (+11). Again, he earned it, but we were loyal soldiers and deserve to be known as such.

I'm gay and none of my gay friends votes Republican. Are the 22% self-loathing closet cases in the mid-west? I just don't get it. Why would they vote Republican?
