Your own source shows that in 2014, LGBT votes favored Democrats 3:1, similar to the party identification data. Moreover, many journalists register as independent to avoid perceptions of bias even if they identify strongly with one party. I haven't see data breaking down voting by party, but during the Trump era journalists donated to Clinton by a more than 20:1 margin: https://publicintegrity.org/politics/journalists-shower-hillary-clinton-with-campaign-cash/ https://publicintegrity.org/politics/journalists-shower-hill...
