Someone called my attention to a memo that Andrew Sullivan obtained. It is from a well-respected GOP pollster and it discusses public opinion of issues of concern to the gay community. Go check out the details if you are interested. The takeaway is that the GOP’s traditional positions on gay issues are now minority positions. It doesn’t discuss regional differences, which is unfortunate, but it’s clear that the Republicans should pivot. I don’t have time at the moment to offer much analysis, but I think there are a lot of other issues that will evoke memos like this in the not-too-distant future. Immigration policy, climate change, and going after women’s rights all come to mind. In any case, it’s a hopeful sign.
