Canada: “Gay community united in stance against conservatives”

James Cowan, writing at Canada’s National Post:

While gay men tend to vote Liberal and lesbians back the NDP, Canada’s homosexual population is united in its opposition to the Conservatives, according to a new report.

A study conducted by the Laurier Institute for the Study of Public Opinion and Policy (LISPOP) found just 7.3% of homosexual men and 10.4% of gay women supported the Conservatives in the 2006 election. By comparison, 40.7% of straight men and 32.4% of straight women voted for the Conservatives.
