They won't stop hating--they'll feel even more threatened.
Large numbers of gays coming out didn't cure homophobia, and defending hetero marriage against "the gay" remains a priority for far too many people (and it's still codified in federal law).
That most Democrats are decent people was never hidden, but suddenly a whole lot of people believe Democrats are America-hating fascists and "socilists" who are DESTROYING the country and "want the terrorists to win."
More acceptance doesn't seem very realistic. The opposite is more likely to be the case.
