Gays who voted for Trump.

4. My circle of friends is exceedingly small.

But I had an acquaintance who was gay and he and his partner voted for Bush the Second. I asked why and it was purely for financial reasons, and the fact that they didn't care about the other issues. The partner was a very successful attorney in Dallas and they knew that they wouldn't be affected adversely by any Republican policies. They both came from wealthy families. They had kind of a "live-in aide" from México and they treated him pretty badly. Neither of them could understand any Spanish, and that was just as well. My acquaintance was killed crossing the street to work by a shuttle bus. I assume his partner got a huge settlement.
In any group there will always be some who are perfectly happy to put their own interests first.
