This is big, big spoilers, so please, do not read this unless you wish to be spoiled. Being spoiled is bad, it can ruin your enjoyment of the game.

I don't see what that would have THAT particular effect.

It's within the code. It's counter-intiutive, yes, but that's what the code says. Presumably there was no other place to put Gay and Abortion rights.

Alternatively, you can just have cultural sleepers. They affect all issues, including that of abortion and homosexual rights.

People like actors, socialites and radio personalities would have some leverage on these kinds of issues, wouldn't they?

Actors and Radio Personalities are cultural sleepers, and affect all issues, not just gays and homosexual rights. Not sure about Socialities, they usually turn out to be *SPOILERS, SPOILERS*

Professional Thevies, so they can't really affect the issues.

Socialites usually turn out to be socialites if you're looking around in places where you would expect socialites to be. Downtown apartments, etc.

Socialites are my favorite source of cash.

 Liberal socialites give easily $1000+ when you make them fight for the Liberal Cause and ask for a donation. These along with Art Critics, Music Critics, and Authors

In terms of stereotypes, it fits. These topics are the ones that get railed on the most about being manipulated by

"activist judges"

Admittedly, that still doesn't exactly make it obvious to a new player.
