Reply #26: I don't think that it's common to do so, no

Right-wingers are mostly anti-gay-rights. Some like Cameron come into the 'social liberal but fiscal conservative' category, who are fairly reasonable on things like gay rights, but unfortunately are economic right-wingers. But they aren't economic right-wingers *because* they support gay rights, or vice versa.

It's a good thing that gay rights are being increasingly accepted in some countries to the point that even many Conservatives accept them. But it doesn't excuse the Conservatives for being economically right-wing, or hawkish, or xenophobic.

Lieberman has always been secular so I am not surprised that he accepts gay rights; it is religious parties like Shas that don't. Not that I can stand any of the right-wing parties.
