Actually, I have seen surprising acts of kindness and in support of individual rights in unlikely places.
I was at a party my neighbor had in Fayetteville, N.C. which was mostly comprised of gay men, and the couple giving the party were both male.
The two straight servicemen who started the problems went to jail for assault and theft of items from my Neighbor's apartment.
They kept frantically telling the Fayetteville Police, "These guys are [F words]." The police responded essentially, "So?" and informed them they were interested in the crimes the two men were perpetrating, not someone's private business concerning their relationships with others.
I even went so far as to give the Commander of these guy's unit a statement, and both were burned in a legal action by this unit, one of the men losing a grade of rank in the process.
