Ok before I start I want to first say that I am 21 year old male and I am gay. But my goal is to get involved in politics. I am very interested in it. But I am not sure what party I affiliate with. Being a gay male I feel I should be a liberal democrat. That is most likely the most successful road for me to go down. But on the other hand, I am pretty conservative on some issues. For example, I am very pro gun, pro life, I am strongly for securing the boarder, I am against the progressive tax system I would like to see a fair tax. But all that being said I am strongly for gay rights, I hate the patriot act, I think america needs to get out of every country right now, I am very anti-war. We have the worse foreign policy ever! I am for a universal health care system (I never use to be until I was recently dropped so now I understand peoples struggles.)
So please help me out, and DO NOT tell me to be a independent because this is america and if I want a political career I need to pick a party. I come from a very conservative republican family buy being a gay male I feel like I should be a liberal democrat.

What Political Party Should I Register With?
Posted on December 14, 2011.
This is why I hate the party system, instead of just going with your opinion on the issues we have to choose one or the other
You sound very middle of the road, rather than liberal or conservative. I’d say you lean more towards democrat than republican however.http://www.politicalcompass.org/test
I’m honestly curious what your results would be lol.

I’d say you are like many people, you are in the middle. Don’t define yourself by a political party. Continue to have your own ideas and opinions. Too many that define themselves by a political party, end up being too easily influenced by that political party.
