11 LGBT Trump Voters Comment on Trump's First 100 Days
  
It’s fairly obvious that President Trump is a figure of polarizing opinions. While most of the LGBT community firmly opposes him, some stand by Trump.  In an effort not to get caught in a news bubble, we’ve asked 11 members of the LGBT community* who voted for Trump for their thoughts on the president's first 100 days in office. For consistency, all participants were asked and answered the following question:  
What's your overall opinion on Trump's first 100 days in office, and specifically, what are your thoughts on his actions—and/or inaction—surrounding the LGBT community?
*When reaching out to respondents for this piece, we tried to get a varied sample of different people within the LGBT community. However, most of our participants are gay men. Additionally, the opinions and views expressed by the respondents in this piece are solely theirs, and do not reflect the opinions and views of PRIDE's editorial staff.

The majority of young LGBTQ+ people are motivated to take political action — but their motivation often goes hand in hand with anxiety and depression, according to a new Trevor Project research brief, “Civic Engagement, Political Concerns, and Mental Health Among LGBTQ+ Young People.”
Using data from the Trevor Project’s 2024 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People, the brief, released Wednesday, notes that 60 percent of respondents felt motivated to take some action in the previous year, such as volunteering, contributing money, attending a political event, or contacting a government official. Forty-four percent said they had at least one LGBTQ-related political concern. The 18,663 LGBTQ+ young people who responded to the survey were recruited via ads on social media.
