I found this article and the results from this poll in the Examiner very interesting:
67% of polled LGBT adults responded that they feel things in this country are going in the right direction. This number is much higher than the 45% of our heterosexual counterparts who agree. This figure is up from June's numbers where at the time 56% of LGBT adults polled felt satisfied with the direction the country is headed.
The numbers also look better among LGBT adults when it comes to the outlook on the economy and on personal financial situations. 57% of LGBT adults feel that the economy will improve in the coming year, compared to only 45% of heterosexual adults who agree . In addition, in a 6 month period of time 31% of LGBT people polled expect their household’s financial condition to get better, compared to only 24% of heterosexual adults.
The overall feeling from these results is that LGBT adults express more confidence in what the future has in store. 82% of LGBT adults responded that they trust President Barack Obama to do what is right for the American economy. This number holds at only 60% for heterosexual adults.

I saw that and shared it with my wife. We both wondered aloud which LGBT people they polled for that. We're certainly not in that "optimistic" group and as far as we're concerned things are going steadily downhill.
