A study into the causes and extent of the left-wing voting behaviour of LGBT+ voters

先前的研究表明，LGBT+社区的成员倾向于比异性恋者更多地投票给左翼政党。我将讨论最突出的解释forthis现象，并认为，虽然他们是令人信服的，在解释投票行为的LGBT+选民时，社会是不太宽容的LGBT+社区，他们有较少的权利，需要更多的研究，以确定相关的原因，这种左翼的投票行为，在当代社会的LGBT+选民。目前的研究缺乏足够的解释，尽管生活在一个社会宽容度不断提高的时代，但投票行为仍在继续，其中，对LGBT+社区左翼倾向的解释不应适用于造成性别认同和性别差距的程度。我的提案概述了我打算对英国政治中性别认同和性差异的原因进行重点研究，并确定这种差异的普遍程度。

Previous research has shown there is a tendency for members of the LGBT+ community to vote more forleft-wing parties than their heterosexual counterparts. I will discuss the most prominent explanations forthis phenomena and argue that, while they are convincing in explaining the voting behaviour of LGBT+voters when society was much less tolerant of the LGBT+ community and in which they had fewer rights,more research is required to identify the relevant causes for this left-wing voting behaviour in youngerLGBT+ voters in contempory society. Current research lacks a sufficient explanation for the votingbehaviour continuing despite living in an age of increasing social tolerance, and in which, theexplanations for the left-wing leaning of the LGBT+ community should not apply to such an extent tocreate a gender identity and sexuality gap. My proposal outlines my intention to carry out focussedresearch on both the causes of the gender identity and sexuality gap in British politics, as well asdetermining the extent to which this gap is prevalent.
