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

先前的研究表明，LGBT+群体成员比异性恋群体成员更倾向于投票给左翼政党。我将讨论对这一现象的最突出的解释，并认为，尽管它们在解释LGBT+选民在社会对LGBT+社区的容容度低得多、他们拥有较少权利的情况下的投票行为时有说服力，但需要更多的研究来确定当代社会中年轻LGBT+选民中左翼投票行为的相关原因。目前的研究缺乏对投票行为的充分解释，尽管生活在一个社会宽容度越来越高的时代，但投票行为仍在继续。在这个时代，对LGBT+群体左翼倾向的解释不应该如此适用于制造性别认同和性取向差距的程度。我的提案概述了我的意图，即对英国政治中性别认同和性别差距的原因进行集中研究，并确定这种差距普遍存在的程度。

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.
