Wow, Dougboy's chart was just outright lying.
Still though, the states will eventually turn on their own and I dislike how it seems the only issue LGBT people are capable of putting first is their own rights. It's like how women tend to put abortion rights as most important factor in elections, putting things like Jobs and the Economy somewhere down the list instead.
well consider this.
while some people always consider their own priorities first, it's only their interests they're protecting, and if there's enough, it's basically the most popular issues. if people didn't aggressively go after their own issues, no one would. the system basically acts like basically making sure the most contended topic is the one dealt with. as it stands,
far more people consider the economic issues above social justice issues, but they're just not as vocal and up front about it.
to clarify: if everyone was as selfish as possible about their own issues, in a way, it'd work out perfectly since the largest issues would satisfy the most people.
