The gay voting block

Various surveys and polls (summarized here) show that gays may be about 5% of the population but make up 7% (in small cities) to 9% (in big cities) of the vote. In the 2004 election 92% of gays and 91% of lesbians voted. That is astonishing, compared to 61% for the population as a whole. So why has so little gay legislation actually made it to Bush's desk?
