Zohran Mamdani's unapologetic LGBTQ+ allyship really paid off after exit polls reveal the majority of queer New Yorkers voted for him. The straights, on the other hand, were split down the middle. The 34-year-old socialist politician made history earlier this week by becoming New York's youngest mayor-elect in over a century, as well as its first Muslim mayor-elect, in the closing hours of the city's election. He won the election, obtaining around 50.4% of the vote, while his major rival Andrew Cuomo got about 41.6%.
