    Gay conservatives are a minority, but they are more prevalent than I had realized. Twenty-eight percent of the LGBTQ+ vote went to Trump in 2020, and Grindr’s CEO, George Arison, has publicly shown support for Trump and anti-LGBTQ+ Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. However, I hypothesize that there are more than polls count. According to Gallup, 7.6 percent of U.S. adults currently identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.” The word identify is key with any of these stats because there are plenty of men who have sex with men who don’t identify as gay. Research suggests that globally, more people are closeted than not.
