But the other side of the coin is that I care about social issues. How can I look my kids in the eye and say “well I tied for people who effectively quashed LGBTQ rights because I was worried about the budget.”? So, I just don’t know.

Is there any supporting information that LGBTQ rights would suffer at all under different leadership? (not trying to start political debate but am curious if there are new headlines beyond the stuff that goes way back)
The world as a whole has evolved and people are much more understanding and educated on a wide range of topics. What was often seen as "different" many years ago is now completely normal. I am sure that a very large portion of the population has a much different view on the LGBTQ community today than they did 10 or 20 years ago and I am willing to bet that the LGBTQ community would agree.
