Out about two dozen reactions or posts, only one was negative, and a great many either just announced the news, many thought it was a good choice. If I hadn’t read elsewhere that Jacob Helberg was Gay, I wouldn’t have known.
Who is Jacob Helberg
He is involved with High Tech and had been previously a donor to the Biden Campaign. As for him being Gay, I had to track down Wikipedia bio on him as a source for him being Gay. I found out since a Gay supporter of Trump had done an X post.

News coverage has information on him.
He is known as a China hawk.
LGBTQXYZ+ press coverage
Them, https://www.them.us/ , didn’t have any coverage on Jacob Helberg, but a very lengthy article on how some Gays thought Luigi Mangione was hot

The major article is on Luigi Mangione.

The Advocate, https://www.advocate.com/, didn’t have any coverage of Jacob Helberg.

They didn’t have an article on Luigi Mangione.
Washington Blade, https://www.washingtonblade.com/ , didn’t have an article on Jacob Helberg’s appointment. Rather odd, since they are a D.C. paper and governmentis the primary revenue source.
They didn’t have an article on Luigi Mangione.
The thing is that the LGBTQXYZ+ media has gone in completely for the trans extreme agenda, and so they are in a position where they going to fight Donald Trump at all costs and by any means, which evidently includes keeping their readers in the dark and not reporting anything that might make Donald Trump look less than a disaster for Gays.
Christian right media response.
For the Christian Post, like it was for Scott Bessent, there is nothing as of 12/14/2024.
For Charisma, like it was for Scott Bessent, there is nothing as of 12/14/2024.
Summary
This article is about Donald Trump making a second appointment of a Gay person to an important position. It does suggest that Trump isn’t a raging homophobe.
The other important, and maybe the most important thing about this news, is how the LGBTQXYZ+ manages their news coverage to advance a specific agenda. This management can involve simply not reporting important news to their readers if it doesn’t align with their partisan objectives.
