That's the key question. Voting conservative to stop gay marriage is rational. That doesn't mean hating gay marriage is necessarily rational though.

True. I get why someone would vote conservative in the UK despite being poor because while their policies may hurt the poor in some respects, they still use actual economics and facts to shape their policies and may improve things faster than a Labour government.
In the US however, anyone who is poor and votes republican does so for some combination of these 4 reasons:
1. They hate women and/or abortion.
2. They hate minorities and/or immigrants.
3. They hate gun control or regulation.
4. They hate themselves.
