A new poll of Republicans reveals data that will surprise even the most liberal of lesbians.
The new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll delivers some answers on how self-identified Republicans feel about gay rights and President Obama.
The majority of Republicans feel that gays and lesbians should not be allowed to serve their country, marry their loved one, receive federal or state benefits, or be allowed to teach our children in public schools.
The poll was conducted by calling 2,003 self-identified Republicans nationwide between January 20 and 31 and it's not surprising why the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" has taken nearly two decades. Here are some of the results:
Should openly gay men and women be allowed to serve in the military?
Yes 26
No 55
Not Sure 19
Should same sex couples be allowed to marry?
Yes 7
No 77
Not Sure 16
Should gay couples receive any state or federal benefits?
Yes 11
No 68
Not Sure 21
Should openly gay men and women be allowed to teach in public schools?
Yes 8
No 73
Not Sure 19
The poll also reveals that two-thirds of Republicans assume anyone that is not a Christian is going to hell and one-third actually believe Obama is a racist who hates white people.
