Why are there no queer political parties?

Question

Could this be a way to inject a clear and focused political influence to truely support the LGBTI community? This approach has been done to great effect amongst other groups such as christian people (eg Family First Party from Australia), why should we not form our own party rather than seeking political alliances with parties that have other agendas?

Answer 1

Homosexual politicians are in every political party now. Many do not openly reveal their mindset, but when it comes to homosexual agendas they make certain they lean toward supporting them. What homosexual politician doesnt want it to be much more easier for them to not only come out, but be in the open? Homosexuals have a difficult way as it is politicking to live without scorn as heterosexuals do, so wouldnt the homosexual agenda be better served if the organizations and groups already in place be supported? The politicians in office now may not be out in the open but homosexual organizations and groups know who to go to and who to lobby.

Answer 2

Ever heard of the HRC: Human Rights Campaign? Its not a political party, but its pretty close. Making political alliances is part of the game. If you have a narrow-minded agenda you won't ever get anywhere with that.

You have to have a little flexibility.

Answer 3

we align ourselves with other parties b/c theres no way we could win by ourselves. the US are a conservative christian dominated country most of which do not accept homosexuality --we hence do not stand a chance in an election
and the approach of christian ppl had an effect b/c they are in teh majority and thus can ignore the rights of the minority/the glbt
the glbt will go thru the same struggle blacks went thru to achieve the common civil rights as straight people at least in America. the time will come
