Maybe, if that were the reason, but the reason they are conservative isn’t because they are anti-riot, it’s because they’ve been listening to the Conservative Propaganda Machine exclusively, and have been convinced by Traitors and Pervoids that gay people should be exterminated.

I mean conservative in the broader sense of 'less inclined to revolutionary action', not conservative in the sense of 'aligned with the braindead fascism of the modern right-wing'. I think it's normal for a functioning society to see older and more rooted individuals as less inclined towards radicalism than they were when they were young and rootless. I think it's deeply abnormal for any society which wishes to remain functioning to see the exact kind of right-wing loons we're dealing with as a significant portion of any demographic.
