President Donald Trump won 28 percent of the LGBTQ vote compared to the 61 percent won by former Vice President Joe Biden, according to preliminary exit polling conducted by Edison Research, which compiles demographic information for every U.S.
election, published last week in the New York Times. Self-identified LGBTQ voters also represented 7 percent of the electorate — the highest percentage in any election since the LGBTQ vote was first recorded in 1996.
For the roughly 28% of LGBTQ voters who backed Trump’s anti-LGBTQ administration, the nightmare of having a pro-LGBTQ president and vice-president is just beginning.
