The Gopher+ protocol doesn't seem to be that popular in practice, and the only evolution of the gopher protocol since the mid-90s is the introduction of a few new selector types not found in RFC-1436 (like 'i' and 'h'), and the switch to UTF-8 (instead of ISO-8859-1 mentioned in RFC-1436). There are a few servers and clients that support TLS for gopher, but it's not exactly a good fit [1].
