Same thing in France. If anyone is wondering the reason so many gay men vote right/far-right, the answer is non-European migration and the rise of Islam.
Basically, we fear mass Muslim migration more than the far-right.

Which specific subgroup of the LGBT community would find itself on Romeo? It is an extremely unpopular site, definitely a specific type of person would find itself on here. Most LGBT folks will use Tinder or Grindr, with some using smaller apps like Scruff, Bumble etc. Still anti-immigration stance is not uncommon in this group despite often being depicted as left-wing, this sample is not truly representative.

LGBT folks probably fear immigration as much as AfD folks.

OP, please add to the title that it is a gay dating app. Describing it as LGBT+ gives the wrong impression. Men are more politically right-leaning, this is important context given that the missing information gives a distorted impression of LGBT+ people as a whole. Just switch “LGBT+” out for “gay”. It’s literally what they call themselves.

The fact people are puzzled by this shows how fkn dumb Reddit is.
Islam and LGBT don’t tend to mix very well. How is this coming as a shock to some of you?

I detest the AfD, but I don’t blame this community for voting for the far-right given how their concerns about Islamization have been dismissed by the left. I guess Denmark is the only EU country where the left is actually tough on immigration (and this has prevented the rise of the far-right).

Why should we listen to platforms that can be so easily manipulated in one way or the other ?

To my knowledge the “L” is superflous here – there isn’t a lesbian version of Romeo. It’s like a slightly less sex-focused grindr is what I’ve been told.

So gay people don’t like followers of a religion that says they should be killed? I’m shocked
These are the British muslims, by the way, not fresh immigrants with presumably even worse views.

Gay people are people and represent a diverse set of views. Looked at another way, you can see that most gay men did NOT vote for AfD, and that the votes reflect that diversity of viewpoints. Also, don’t lose sight of the fact that even the NSDAP had many gay supporters like Ernst Rohm, as weird as it seems in hindsight. You cannot easily pigeonhole large groups of people, no matter their sexuality.

Nazi fagg0ts? (fyi I never use such terms, here it’s just because for nazi voters no offense would ever be enough)
That’s new.
Just a few days ago there was a pic of LGBT people being brought to a concentration camp back then.
Really. What dem3nted times.

The left ( and reddit) when any (every) poll shows them losing:
1. Mockery
2. Name calling
3. Why are they even voting for them?
4. So they think these guys are gonna save them?
5. Na*is!
6. Bigots!
7. Save Democracy!
8. The world has gone crazy (we are sane though)
Yes that’s right. Mock them and they will turn over to you! That’s how you get votes.
The reason behind this behavior often lies in the tendency to dismiss or dehumanize those who don’t share the same views. When a group feels threatened or frustrated by losing support in a poll, they might resort to mockery or name-calling to undermine the opposition and avoid acknowledging their own weaknesses. It can also serve as a way to rally their own base by portraying themselves as the defenders of “correct” values, while painting the other side as extreme or unreasonable. The idea is to delegitimize the opposing viewpoint, but ironically, it might alienate potential voters or further entrench divisions. Ultimately, it’s a reaction to losing rather than a strategic path to gaining support.

Die Linke suprisingly low, CDU/CSU and AfD suprisingly high…
Turns out even the queers have silent majority it would seem.
How in the holy seven AfD is that high in the LGBT group?
wait so in Germany the gays vote with AfD?

History says the AfD will be bad for homosexuals: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_homosexuals_in_Nazi_Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_homosexuals_in_Nazi_Germany)
Maybe because the chancellor candidate of the AfD is a lesbian?
(Ironically too: her partner is of Sri Lankan descent)
Having been in Berlin recently, it’s comprehensible…
Gay flags are everywhere, except where germans are the minority…
A different meaning, yet it reminds me like some years ago, in the US, gay flags were both an inclusive symbol as well as an anti-Trump symbol.
Strange are this new times!
