Recent analysis shows LGBTQ voters could again provide the decisive vote for pro-equality candidates, particularly in four “battleground” states – Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania – all of which have populations of LGBTQ adults significantly larger than the margin of victory for the 2020 winning presidential candidate. Joe Biden won Pennsylvania by 80,555 votes in 2020, winning […]
