The Gay Vote Went Up; Possible That Romney Won the Straight Vote.

[Ronnie]

On a tangent, but I wonder who gay black Republicans voted for, and by what margin...

Has anyone found one yet? I keep hearing stories about gay black Republicans, and I think they're just as legendary as The Yeti.

I'm tired and jetlagged but I think the reasonable way to do it is this:

1. The chance of being a Romney voters if you're straight was 50%, 25% if you were gay. Thus it should be twice as likely to be a Romney voter if you're straight. This should hold for blacks as well as whites if there is no interaction.

2. Simplifying a little based on how few gays there are, this should mean that about 3% of gay blacks should be Romney voters, since 6% of the black voters were Romney voters. That's about 55 000.

The last time I was in Las Vegas, I met a gay, black Republican. It felt very, very strange. And he wasn't even the mayor of a New Jersey town!

Anyway, BBL -- I'm off to find the other 54,998.

Who won the gay black Republican vote in the 2012 primaries?  Romney?  What percentage of gay black Republicans voted for Santorum?
