You paint conservatives with a brush that's too broad. There are many who are not the demons you make them out to be.

You might want to check Barry Goldwater's votes on the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts of 1964.

On the other hand it is certainly true that later in life he spoke out openly in favor of gay rights. But today's GOP is no more the party of Goldwater than it is the party of Lincoln or Roosevelt.
