Hillary Clinton appears to be the favorite choice among gay voters California and New York, according to exit polling data released after Tuesday's primary election. We're not sure how exit polling works but we wonder if they even bother to ask the LesBiGay question anywhere besides the two largest blue states on the map. Ole Hill won 60% of the gay vote in California, versus 52% of the vote overall. In New York, Clinton won 59% of the LGB vote, and 57% of the general vote over Barack Obama. Whether this suggests anything about the affinity of dykes and fags for a female candidate over a straight man, we'll let you decide.
In other news, gays, lesbians and bisexuals apparently account for 4
percent of Democratic voters to show up at the polls on Tuesday in
California, and 7 percent of Democrats in New York. So I guess this means only a third of us showed up to vote and only half us are Democrats because we still account for, like, half the population of New York, right? Anyway. Whatever. We're tired of politics.
