I think a lot of people simply don't care; even if they didn't vote for the Face-Eating Leopard Party, they think they're safe because the leopards have only eaten the faces of people they don't really personally know or ultimately care all that much about. A generic liberal/centrist may not be an outright 'phobe or racist, but that's about the extent of their convictions.
When the leopards start eating the faces of LGBT+ people they'll go "oh dear this is terrible" when they read about it in the news, maybe make a social media post, feel bad for a while, and then move on with their day.
