The hard-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is the most popular among German users of gay dating app Romeo.com, according to the site’s survey.
In the poll conducted from January 24 to February 2, almost 28 per cent of more than 60,000 respondents on the dating app said they would vote for the AfD in the upcoming Bundestag election on February 23.
All German users received an in-app message with a participation link to the survey on Romeo, one of the world’s largest gay dating apps.
Users voted anonymously and were asked only their age and voting intention. Romeo stressed that the method was not suitable for making statistically robust election predictions and that lesbians did not participate.
While the survey was not representative of the gay population as a whole, given the large number of participants it did seem to indicate a high favourability for the hard-right party.
Next to AfD being the most popular party among respondents on the app, the Greens came in second, with 19.9 per cent. The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) was third at 17.6 per cent.
The Social Democratic Party (SPD) scored 12.5 per cent and the Left party 6.5 per cent. The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) got 4.5 per cent. The Liberal Party came in last with 3.6 per cent.
Some 7.3 per cent of respondents replied with “others”.
When broken down by age group, there appeared to be a generational shift.
Among men above 60 years of age, AfD was less popular, scoring 19.8 per cent. The CDU was most popular, scoring 21.7 per cent, followed by SPD with 20.8 per cent.
For the youngest group, 18-24-year-olds, the AfD topped the poll at 34.7 per cent.
Among the 25-39 age range, AfD was also most popular, with 32.3 per cent, with the same among 40-59-year-olds, at 27.2 per cent.
The AfD has often been criticised as homophobic by its opponents, despite the fact that the party’s co-leader, Alice Weidel, is in a lesbian relationship with a woman of Sri Lankan descent.
Her party has also been highly vocal about the rise in homophobic violence in recent years, although linking it to rising mass migration to Germany.
