How About "People Who Enjoy Brunch"?

Weird poll of the day: According to a new New York Times/CBS News survey, 79 percent of respondents who identified as Democrats say they favor allowing gay men and lesbians to serve in the military, and 60 percent favor allowing them to serve openly.

According to the New York Times' "The Caucus" blog, the weird disparity wasn't as prominent with Republicans and independents.

(DISCLOSURE: I enjoy brunch more than any straight man should.)
