I assume that one way Sullivan has to answer this is just how politically salient his sexual status is so far as politics is concerned.

You seem to have the same buildup of dislike for conservatives on sex that you do on religion. It is hard to categorize. Just based on the old "Who knows what lurks" idea. Nobody knows what most people really think.

I personally believe that people are much more tolerant that they were a generation ago. But I think a public backlash has built up by a reaction to the "We're Queer, we're Here, and we are going to be your kid's Boy Scout Master" approach that some militants have taken.

So if it makes you happy to spend time fulminating about the "Religious Right" and the "Conservative Homophobes," have fun. But you are never going to change any votes with it.
