An Interesting Survey Results

I found this very disturbing, the number of LGBT who voted for their pocketbook.

I think that there can be no doubt that the Trump administration has been putting the screws to us especially to the trans community.

The Trump administration has…
  • Removed all references sexual orientation from government websites 
  • Removed all references gender identity from government websites
  • Removed all references on same-sex marriage from government websites
  • In court cases filed briefs against sexual orientation employment cases
  • In court cases filed briefs against trans employment cases
  • Tried to reinstate the trans ban in the military
  • Tried to remove healthcare for trans people
So given that, the Wall Street Journal broke down the demographics of the election and this is what I find amazing…

LGBT identification
Share VOTED DEMOCRAT VOTED REPUBLICAN
Yes 6 73 25
No 94 49 49

Lesbian, gay and bisexual identification
Share VOTED DEMOCRAT VOTED REPUBLICAN
Yes 6 75 23
No 94 48 49

Transgender identification
Share VOTED DEMOCRAT VOTED REPUBLICAN
Yes 1 60 36
No 99 50 48

So to understand the results (It took me a while to understand how the data was broken down)

So to understand the results (It took me a while to understand how the data was broken down)

Six percent of the voters identified as LGBT and of those 73 percent were Democrats and 25 percent are Republicans. Of those who do not identify as LGBT 49 percent voted Democrats and 49 voted Republican.

One percent of the voters identified as Trans and of those 60 percent voted Democrats and 36 percent voted Republicans. Of those who do not identify as trans, 50 percent voted Democrats and 48 voted Republican.

So two facts stand out, over a third of the trans people in the poll are Republicans and a quarter of the LGBT in the poll are Republicans

So I guess that those LGBT people who are Republicans don’t really care that the current administration sees us as vermin that can be eradicated. I can only assume that they put money ahead of our rights.
