I see little problem in 50% of your example, including its neighboring country. Can't speak for Austria, but wasn't the former leader of Austria's right-wing party openly gay?
First of all, this is a international board. I generally use national examples to put a light on international trends.

Secondly, that a party has a gay group does not mean this group is more than "tolerated" by their voters, to keep up with the current political landscape.

Every party in Sweden also have their pet muslim, but the parties and their voters view on muslims are still largely unaffected. It's just a way for the party to make sure everyone (including gays and muslims) can vote for them with a "clear conscience". But let's not dig to deep in Swedish / Norwegian politics or we bore the rest.
