Charles M. Blow of the New York Times is very upset by this!
Also, the percentage of LGBT voting for Trump doubled from 2016. DOUBLED!!! This is why LGBT people of color don’t really trust the white gays. Yes, I said what I said. Period. pic.twitter.com/4SS4c4z76f
Well, I’m glad I’m not an “LGBT” person of color. I’m only a gay Hispanic person. (Now, now, don’t start, respect the adjective.) Male, but still out there enough to be (maybe) profiled at Lindsey Graham event in 2015-16.
I suppose if you get intersectional enough, you might actually find a group of Americans who were less likely to vote for Trump. But for now I’ll settle with white men. Booga-Booga, you really did “stand down.” Whites deserve to find and spread love, not hate.

Taking a look at this several weeks after the election, the early-release NBC exit poll results seem high to me, and might be an outlier. Other exit and post-election polls are coming in around 20-23%, more in line with past election results (Bush 25% (2000), Bush 23% (2004), McCain 27% (2008), Romney 22% (2012), Trump 14% (2016). Whatever the percentage, though, the number is better than Trump’s 2016 performance.
