Dems are so focused on appeasing and pandering to activists that they mistake activists' noise for "the voice" of those the activists' claim to represent. There may have been a time when that assumption was fairly correct, but activists and their supposed constituencies started diverging years or even decades ago. Failing to recognize that has been a significant mistake on the Rs' part, IMO. Getting to the point, while many LGBTQRSUVWXYZ people are about as crazy as the activists, many are not. One of the - if not THE - most popular stations in the SF Bay Area is ConservaTalk KSFO. Many of their listeners are moderate-conservative gays and lesbians.
