Only exception should be Scott County.

All the southern MN counties that voted against it were college counties and Rochester I think and they were all pretty close in 2016(within 4 points)

Interestingly, Maine 2016 was exactly the gay marriage map of 2012.  Washington was close, sans Pierce and Clark counties.

Maryland had Anne Arrundel which was Mccain Romney Clinton and Frederick which was Mccain Romney Trump(but also trending D slightly) vote for it but the super majority black, and 90% D prince george's county voted against it.

LGBT people have handled their victory well. This is a dead issue -- deader even than interracial marriage, which took longer to win acceptance. America is much more placid about homosexuality than it used to be.

In my case, my experience with violent (if misdirected) homophobia convinced me to get on the bandwagon for same-sex marriage because whatever made life safer for LGBT people made life safer for me. 

Its a dead issue but compare it to the 2012 Presidential election in Minnesota and then the 2016 Presidential election and tell me which one its closer to.
