Grindr Calls The 2016 Presidential Election
Gay hookup app Grindr recently conducted an early election poll, and the results revealed how a portion of LGBTQ people will be voting.
When asked what they felt was the biggest issue facing America today, 50% of those polled said the economy. The other big issues included immigration (10.3%) and healthcare (9.8%).
"Our users also take a holistic view of rights issues – 'minority rights' outpolled 'LGBT rights' 9% to 3%," the study revealed.
When asked what they thought the next big fight for the LGBT community should be, now that gay marriage was made legal, here's how they responded:
"41% singled out 'Pushing forward the Equality Act to end legal LGBTQ discrimination.' 'Fighting HIV/AIDS' drew 15% of votes; then, 'ensuring that states follow the law on marriage and adoption' was selected by 12.4% and after that 'strengthening transgender rights' was the choice of 11.5%."
But who is their pick to run for president next year?
It was a close call among Democrats, but Bernie Sanders edged out Hillary Clinton 38% to 35%.
For Republicans, Donald Trump came out on top, gaining 21% of the vote.
Grindr’s 2015 Election Survey was distributed as an in-app poll to Grindr’s US user base over the weekend of September 12-13, with 1,718 users responding before the polls closed.
