It depends on the situation of the economy, as with all voters. If it's bad as it is right now, he could pull a solid 30% in the general among gays.

On average the GOP nominee gets about 23%. So I'll say about 17%

Probably 20. There's a pretty solid floor on that kinda thing, and that's where it's at.

I'd say 30%, when you include those who are in the closet. Probably around 20% for those who are out of the closet.

15-20%, which is kind of sad, especially if Johnson, who is obviously way more palatable to gay Republicans, is on the ballot.

Well, you have your closested homosexuals. And then there are homosexuals that say "I'm just interested in protecting my money". Gays do have a tendency to have money and that might be a temptation to those GLBTs at least in the top three tax brackets ($82,000+ yr capita annual income) to vote Republican. However, you don't vote for someone who promises to make life a little harder (force you to pay a few grand more a year in taxes) over someone who promises to make life almost impossible for you (make your way of life at least illegitimate if not criminal). I think those GLBTs that would still vote for Santorum are smarter than you think. If homosexual intimacy is made at least a serious misdemeanor, they could get arrested and put in jail with other members of your same sex. I dunno if I am serious or not.

Bush got 23%. McCain got 23%. I think Santorum would probably get 17-20%. We could be near the max for the gay vote though black people vote 88-98% D.
