I consider myself conservative, but pro-gay and pro-choice, and I was against Bush because he was in bed with the religious right.
I think that it's got a lot to do with the slash. There is something wrong with your head, imnsho, if you get off on the idea of gay sex but want to oppress the actual human beings who have it in RL.
I have no idea why the fandom is overwhelmingly anti-war and anti-military (I'm unhappy with what we're doing in Iraq, namely fucking up and screwing the civilians, but was more than okay with the whole get-Saddam idea), but as Harry Potter does contain a number of strongly liberal messages (censorship is ok if it's used to prevent violence-as-opposed-to-sex, the spread of dangerous info should be restricted, all dangerous talents/items should be registered) it's not awfully surprising. I mean, part of the reason I hate Dumbledork so much is that he's like a total personification of the nanny state sometimes.
