First, let me say I hate this part of the Republican "platform" more than anything.
That said, you may be overestimating the "here."
We have a burb here that is known as "gay friendly." It is the center for marches, there are bars, there are plenty of gay residents, etc.
It had a human rights inititive on the ballot a few years back that failed something like 64% to 36%.
If you are outside Manhatten or DC you might be surprised how much fear, or hate, or whatever it is, there is.
