{"product_id":"9780814735305","title":"The Lavender Vote : Lesbians, Gay Men, and Bisexuals in American Electoral Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraces the influences of lesbian, gay and bisexual voters in American elections In the half century since the Stonewall riots in New York City's Greenwich Village launched the national gay-rights movement in earnest, LGB voters have steadily expanded their political influence. The Lavender Vote is the first full- length examination of lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals as a factor in American elections. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48675555737835,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":65.92,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780814735305-1.jpg?v=1781641452","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780814735305","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
