Muslim Americans used to vote Republican and Bush won them in the 2000 presidential elections.
Until 9/11 happened of course.
But it's interesting what you say about 50% of Muslim Americans supporting lgbt. My guess is that those who went to America are vetted, more educated and therefore more open-minded, unlike in Europe which received massive influx of Muslim refugees of all backgrounds.
I don't mean to sound classist and elitist but educated immigrants are just more likely to adapt and integrate. This is not very different to how the Italians and Irish in America were perceived in the past due to their massive immigration population.
