Sadly, this was always going to be the case the very instant another republican became president. It doesn't matter who it is. The radicalized GOP is the party of culture war, dedicated in their pandering to bigoted social conservatives and evangelical extremists.
The last 8 years have driven social conservatives and American Taliban types batshit crazy. Anyone paying attention has seen how scary they really are, seen them preparing for a delusional campaign to create a theocratic nation. So naturally any politicians towing the GOP party line are going to bend over backwards to please such people, who are their base.
If nothing else, everybody who still doesn't fucking get it is probably about to get a lesson in how hateful, crazy, and backwards much of the country really is, and why minorities such as LGBT persons were not just whining about "feelings".
