It may be anecdotal but based on several events where straight couples would express their support for marriage equality or other liberal causes I noticed one tendency: in liberal couples guys tend to be hotter than chicks and in conservative couples it's the opposite.
Agree/disagree?
Liberals are gay. Shock horror.
No corelation observed.
I don't have enough data points, due to avoiding both political discussions and people.
I have no concept of whether a guy is hot or not, so I have no way of telling.
Do they look like movie stars?
I'm sure your concept is as good as Marty's judgments on women.
Pretty weak Marty.
Hot girls go for jerks and jerks tend to be conservative. :P

Why is it weak? I am not saying liberal girls are ugly, only about the relative appearance of the guy and the girl being a couple.
I think it is because of a number of reasons (both related to preferred traits in a partner and one's own grooming habits, both for guys and girls, depending on their political leanings) but have to run now so will explain them later.
Ok so...
- caring about one's looks is traditionally considered a feminine trait - little wonder that conservative women and conservative men go with the stereotype, while liberals go against it,
- conservative women more often look for traits in men that are not associated with appearance but a social position; liberal women value their own independence and self-reliance so are more free to choose hotter guys;
- looks are often correlated with age; liberal men are more likely to seek traits in women that are not associated with looks, but intellect and independence, which means they prefer women their age or older; conservative men are more likely to seek more dependent, i.e. younger women,
- conservative women have daddy issues, liberal men have mommy issues.
If the argument is that liberal women have a higher level of self esteem and value then this is the result you get.
PS. The last point is made half-jokingly. ;)
Don't give up your day job.
Have we ascertained what that is actually?

Some gays, like some heterosexuals, have stereotypic vision.
Of all the stupid things Marty has said on languish, this thread is certainly one of them.
Cat people should be with cat people, and dog people should be with dog people.
