Once you accept gay men and lesbians are just like everyone else in the world, you have to accept that there are going to be some who vote conservative, just like everyone else in the world. In Europe there are at least two right-wing parties with lesbian leaders (including Serbia which has a lesbian prime minister at the moment).

In my country (Australia) the more progressive the party gets the fewer LGB members it has (e.g. in federal politics the right-wing Liberals have 4 gay and 1 lesbian members, the centre-left Labor party has 1 gay and 2 lesbian members, and the super mega progressive pro-trans Greens have zero LGB members)
