Mark Hertzog here describes the differences in demographics, attitudes, and voting behavior between self-identified bisexuals and homosexuals and the rest of the voting population. He shows that lavender self-identifiers comprise a distinctive voting bloc equal in numbers to Latino voters, more liberal across the board on domestic social issues (though not necessarily on economic or national security issues) than non-gay voters, and extremely unified in high-salience elections. Further, lavender voters, contrary to popular belief, are up for grabs between the two major parties. Offering a clear and thorough explanation of LGB voting tendencies, this volume will be must-reading for elected officials, candidates for office, and all those interested in learning about LGB voters.","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46893100335255,"sku":"9780814735305","price":3758.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780814735305.webp?v=1770313869","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-lavender-vote-lesbians-gay-men-and-bisexuals-in-american-electoral-politics-9780814735305","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
