It’s shocking that (1) at least 14% of gay voters refused to be controlled by identity politics, and (2) 14% of gay voters admitted that they voted based on national interests instead of their personal sex lives. The schools need to work harder on indoctrination.
“Most also emphasized that they were less concerned with the LGBTQ-related aspects of the Trump platform”
Weasel words. The author never writes what the “aspects” are that are supposed to be concerning, she just drops that line in as if it’s just a fact that Trump is up to something sinister and leaves the reader to imagine it.
NBC Out?
Yeah, what about the MGBGT’s? Or the BLT’s?
He’ll get many more of their votes next time after he shows he can restart the economy.
My lesbian coworker and her partner both voted for Trump (I think they were leaning Carson early in the primaries). They also both hold CHLs, attend church and are otherwise pretty traditional in their beliefs. I know that my coworker has voted Republican in the years I’ve known her; I’m assuming her partner has, too, because I gather that she is even more traditional than my coworker.
I don’t agree with their lifestyle, but I love them both as people. You just about couldn’t meet two more kind-hearted, helpful folks.
Interesting note from the article: Vincent Foster endorsed Trump.
I’ll bet he did!!
Seems to give an indication of how many are truly soul sick vs. able to sanely deal with their preferences. 78% voted for Hillary so as many as 22% may not be totally insane with self-loathing....
I actually know 3 who voted for Trump, they are not not interested in identity politics. Their concerns are the ones mentioned in the article, they despise obozo and hitlery. One is a vet and all are over 55. 2 are a couple & 1 is single. All are female and live in the south, Florida and Texas.
I personally know of two lesbians who voted for Trump and have lost many friends over it.
Orlando might have been a factor
“Meet the LGBTQ Voters Who Backed Trump”
Both of them?
