This chapter explores the history of LGBTQ support for progressives and Biden's advocacy for gay rights, discussing the strong expectation that the LGBTQ community will heavily support President Biden and Vice President. The chapter delves into voting patterns in the 2020 election, recent polling for a 2024 matchup, and the importance of engaging LGBTQ+ voters to ensure their support in the upcoming election.
The LGBTQ+ voting bloc has traditionally favored Democrats, but as Vox's Christian Paz explains, this year their support may be slipping. California Rep. Robert Garcia says the Biden campaign is on it.
