In general, or just in red states? Cross-referencing LGBT politicians with their states’ historical political leanings, an openly LGBT politician has been elected or reelected while their state was considered republican a total of 96 times. The lead is actually a three-way split between Florida, Georgia, and Arizona, each with a total of 9.
So. Less than it perhaps should. Way more than you’d think.
I would be surprised they would elect a LGBTQ+ friendly politician in the first place
