But there is a fair amount of trans-hostility in some corners of the gay community (misogyny among some gay men, and TERFy stuff among some lesbians). Trump played to that big-time, but Trump himself did not target people who were "merely" homosexual. While I doubt that hostility would have pulled in many women (because of the other women's issues Trump was horrific on), it might have pulled in gay men.
