    8% of all survey responders said yes they were LGBT. Of those 8% that said yes, 86% of those original 8% are democrats.

    92% of all survey responders said they are not LGBT. Of the 92% that said no, it's a 50/50 split as to weather or not they are repub or dem.

    Assume 10000 survey responders.

    10000 total survey responses * .08 = 800 responders are LGBT (9200 responders are NOT LGBT)

    800 lgbt responders * .86 = 688 LGBT responders are democrat, (112 lgbt responders are repub.)

    9200 non LGBT responders * .51 = 4,692 of the non lgbt responders are dem, 4,508 of the non LGBT responders are repub.

    What does this data tell us? Of everyone surveyed, political affiliation was about a 50/50 split. Of the LGBT people surveyed, they are way more likely to be dem.
