What's really in it for gay conservatives?

I'm just from watching a Jubilee episode that had 1 Progressive (Same Seder) debate 20 Trump Supporters. At this point, Jubilee is well known for mining rage bait from clicks and viewership but my curiosity got the best of me and now I'm just livid. There's this one particular gay conservative who debated Sam twice and the ignorance felt like witnessing a humiliation ritual. Not only was he transphobic but he openly defended the stance of his fellow conservatives who clearly voted to have his civil rights taken away and one even compared homosexuality to pedophilia. My question is, what do gay conservatives ever hope to gain from such grand displays of self flagellation? I could understand if it was an issue of actively wanting to assimilate into straight culture (marrying the opposite sex, having kids, being one of the boys etc) but to embrace those kind of politics while being obviously and flamboyantly gay doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Is there some financial motive to it? Virtue signaling to closeted conservative men that they wanna be a pick-me for? Do they derive joy from actively working to collectively making the gay community miserable? As a gay African,I really wish these type of men actually got the chance to spend a week in a theocratic country and get to experience a fraction of the perils the gay community face in these environments. Because it honestly feels like America isn't giving them the rude awakening they desperately want to reach for.
