Strangely, I find your implication that gay or Jewish individuals don't have political interests that differ uniquely from those of middle-class, two-parent, Christian families, absurd. If gay and Jewish individuals don't have their own agendas, why do they have their own PACs? Minneapolis politics seems to have a lot to do with placing people who hold opposing viewpoints on the other side of the rainbow (so to speak).
