I second Nessie's statement. Every gay I have ever known has
consistently voted the Republican ticket, and most Wiccans and
other flavors of pagans whom I've known have also been conservative,
politically, economically, and socially.

Here I will have to disagree. I've known a few Wiccans who
could be classified as 'rightist'...

Yes, I found that out back in the days when I was active in antinuke
groups...ostensibly a 'leftist' cause, I found I could find the best
information from the 'rightist' militias and other conservative
groups. I also found that groups labeled 'conservative' routinely
treated the women in their organizations with more respect than the groups
labeled 'leftist' or 'liberal' treated their female members....
