Research published in the Journal of Politics reveals that LGBTQ+ individuals in Britain are highly selective in their dating preferences based on political beliefs. A survey involving over 2,000 participants analyzed responses to 20,000 fictional dating profiles, finding that Conservative Party supporters had the worst dating success, with a significant -11 percent difference in match rates compared to cis-heterosexual respondents. In contrast, Labour voters experienced a +12 percent advantage. The study underscores a fundamental values mismatch between Tory voters and LGBTQ+ respondents, emphasizing that political affiliation relates deeply to issues of identity, equality, and safety.
Dating isn't just about chemistry. For LGBTQ+ individuals, politics often maps onto identity and safety. When someone supports a party that undermines rights, it can feel threatening.
The disconnect between Tory voters and LGBTQ+ respondents is more than just a turnoff; itâs a matter of a fundamental values mismatch.
