Why do rich queers back
Democrats? Silly question, maybe, but there is an answer.
“Why are gays a favored identity group? What’s
that old saw that can be applied to virtually any political mystery? How about,
“Follow the money.” Think about something for a moment—what other Democrat
identity group has so many members, largely white, who are tech or
entertainment billionaires? Or influential movie stars? Or TV media
personalities? Or creative directors in TV advertising? Do blacks or Hispanics
have that kind of presence across those domains? Of course they don’t, which
explains the phenomenal initial fundraising success of the first openly gay
candidate to jump into the Democrats’ shark pond.”
Easy answer. Queers tend to back candidates who
demand we normals stop with our beliefs that queerness is unnatural, not to
mention an abomination. Democrats believe queerness is normal. Democrats know queer
tech billionaires and queer movie/TV people have influence and dollars.
Therefore, Democrats like queers.
The column is about Beto O’Rourke and Pete
Buttigieg, but also answers the question, Why are queers favored by Democrats.
Money, money, money.
Let’s face it. None of the women Democratic
candidates has a chance of being elected.
