I don’t think this is very true, and I have spent time with conservatives. While they don’t think they’re racist, they also think racism is a solved problem (as if all the racist folks in the civil rights area only 60yrs ago just became good somehow?) Religious folk in general (huge part of the GOP base) don’t accept LGBTQ people at all. Policy-wise, the party never even tries to show they support these groups by collaborating on bills in congress, for example.
I mean every individual has different concepts… plenty who aren’t racist but super homophobic. And plenty of religious folks doing good community work and hot hurting anyone (assuming no one came out to them in the church!) So while conservatives vary a lot, it just doesn’t seem the party itself tries to reflect that.
