No. How do my cultural interests in any way align with him?

Look at the precedent: Mia Love is pushing for DACA.

You really don't see a cultural divide between blacks and whites in this country?
 
"Would you vote a black gay republican ?"


I don't have a problem with that, but I believe he's not gonna fare well with the black voter group.

Okay? The reality is that there is a difference, and our interests generally don't align.

Honestly you would have asked a more interesting question if you asked about a black Christian. In my case, if you had a black Catholic (and I mean actually a Catholic, not a wimpy Catholic in name only like many Democrats), then I'd probably say yes. But a gay black? No way.
 
Depends what their goals and policies are.


Edit: I am assuming you meant "Would you vote for a black, gay, republican."

So long as there is a clearly stated platform that I agree with, sure. I believe in individualism, not the collectivism of identity politics.

The so-called catholics in the Democratic party who support gay marriage, abortion, and the like, are nothing but heretics and ought to be excommunicated for their scandal. Can we know the state of a soul? No, but we can judge actions, and I certainly wouldn't support someone who espouses values that I loathe.
 
What percentage of admittedly gay blacks are Republicans probably no more than 1%. Of that 1% how many
have an inclination to run for office 1% of that minuscule group. I bet you'll have a better chance to win the lottery than
have a chance to vote for or against a black gay republican.
 
If he's both a traitor to his race AND sexual orientation by not belonging to the party he was told to, how can he be trusted to defend freedom?
 
What do being either Black or Gay have to do with whether or not a person deserves my vote?

As for Republican, I've never voted straight party, nor voted for a person because of party. I vote for the person, not the party, although in the past Republicans have aligned more with me than Democrats - that's no longer the rule though, and neither party is currently aligning all that well with me.

We already did. His name was Barack Obama. He gave free money to bankers who almost bankrupted the world economy, which sounds like something an establishment Republican would do. Then there's his boyfriend from Chicago who says he partied with B.O. in his younger days.

Black- check
Gay- check
Republican- check

I'm not a Republican, so I didn't answer your poll, but I would vote for a black, gay Republican...if...

The "if" depends on a lot of things that have nothing to do with his sex, orientation or race.

"Stereo typically" that seems like an oxymoron

But, When voting for a candidate, for me...


Race = meaningless
Sexual orientation = meaningless
The Letter they put after thier name = meanignless


What does matter to me:
The platform/campaign they run on
thier voting history
thier character
thier stance on issues (if thier voting history matches it)

so the answer is yes i "COULD" :shrug:
 
Why? I would not vote for (or against) anyone based on their race or because they decided to (or not to) change their gender.
