The world as a whole has evolved and people are much more understanding and educated on a wide range of topics. What was often seen as "different" many years ago is now completely normal. I am sure that a very large portion of the population has a much different view on the LGBTQ community today than they did 10 or 20 years ago and I am willing to bet that the LGBTQ community would agree.

UCP has a large contingent of older, more rural voters. These folks traditionally haven't been as progressive when it comes to LGBTQ as Gen X or younger. Whether they vote for the UCP on that basis alone I don't know, but the PC's before, the UCP and other further right parties tend to play more to their political preferences.
