Thirty Pieces Of Silver

That is the only reason I see why LGBTQ+ people vote for Trump and the Republican party.

Trump has done so much to oppress the LGBTQ+ community. He has reinterpret the ACA (Obamacare) to not in protections for LGBTQ+ people. He fought against the inclusion of LGBTQ+ in Title VII and IX. Trump tried to block LGBTQ+ adoptions from foreign countries.

But still trough all that they still support him.
Trump Pride: Gay Republicans on why they're backing the president
While LGBTQ Americans have historically been a reliable Democratic voting bloc, some gay voters say they're "100 percent on board" with Trump this year.

“I had every intention of voting for Hillary in 2016, but Comey had released his statement the day before, giving me all sorts of doubts,” Rogers, 44, said. “I wasn't thrilled with Hillary as a nominee, and I don't trust the Clintons at all, but she acted more presidential. At the last minute, I went with Trump and have had no regrets since.”

He isn't blind to Trump's faults, but said the key issues for him this election are the economy and national security.
Greed wins, he rather have the thirty pieces of silver than have job security.
The exact size of Trump's LGBTQ base is unclear. An unscientific survey last month by the gay social app Hornet indicated that 45 percent of its American respondents were voting to re-elect the president. But a Morning Consult poll from June found 19 percent of LGBTQ voters backed Trump, while GLAAD's State of LGBTQ Voters report in September reported just 17 percent of LGBTQ registered voters were supporting the president.

GLAAD's poll results were similar to exit poll findings from 2016, which found that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender voters backed Hillary Clinton over Trump by 74 percent to 14 percent.
You can easily tell the LGBTQ+ Republicans from LGBTQ+ Democrats, the Republicans care about “Me” while the Democrats care about “Us.”
Phil Kazmierczak, a gay real estate agent in Virginia who said he's "100 percent on board" with the president, blames Democrats for fixating on identity politics.

"They force you to believe, with the help of liberal media bias, that you are no more than your sexuality or your gender or your race," Kazmierczak said in an email. "They want you to believe that someone is constantly coming for your rights. If you're gay, specifically, Democrat propaganda states that the Republicans are going to take away your rights."
Um… they are. They have. Don’t you remember these three Supreme Court case; Bostock v. Clayton County, Ga., Altitude Express Inc. v. Zarda, and R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes, Inc., v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission?

Maybe you don’t remember that the Trump administration argued that we were not covered by Title VII.
Once in office, however, Trump has consistently opposed LGBTQ rights — from rolling back Obama-era nondiscrimination protections to banning openly transgender service members in the military. The national LGBTQ rights group GLAAD has accused the Trump administration of 181 separate attacks on the community since his inauguration.
They have selective blinders on, they don’t remember Trump ordering US embassies not to fly the Pride flag.
Jennifer Williams, a transgender woman, was an honorary delegate at the 2016 Republican National Convention. She said some LGBTQ voters are looking beyond issues related to their sexual orientation and gender identity and are prioritizing things like unemployment and housing.

"By deregulating a lot of things, it's really freed up the economy," he said. "I think, pre-Covid, he did a remarkable job for minority communities in employment. The Obama administration, in particular the second term, really added a lot of environmental regulations that slowed down the economy."
Dear Ms. Williams I think being discriminated again and denied housing, which under Trump’s HUD and Trump’s Department of Labor allows us to be fired for just being ourselves. Forcing us to be homeless and unemployed are very, very important issues… it is the “us” not the “me.”

They ignore the fact that the current Supreme Court nominee wrote
Barrett briefly spoke about Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark decision that guaranteed the right to marry for same-sex couples, during the Jacksonville University lecture. She suggested that the decision was not the court explicitly ruling in favor of or against same-sex marriage, but rather ruling whether states had the right to decide if that right was guaranteed. Barrett defended Chief Justice John Roberts' dissent, which said that the constitution didn't speak to the question and thus it wasn't the court's place to decide, but that people had the right to lobby in state legislatures to make same-sex marriage allowed within the state.
[…]
She said that the transgender rights offered under Title IX is a "strain of the text," and since the original interpretation of the statute did not consider changes in modern ideas regarding transgender individuals, it is a "who decides" question on whether Title IX should be changed to explicitly detail transgender rights in the language.
But these Log Cabin Republicans only consider themselves and not others.

Me, me, me!
