Well, considering how many Jews support it, even many Orthodox Jews, many will be synagogue regulars.Look at the statistics of just those who attend synagogue every week. They are more likely to be the opposite of the general majority on almost every measure. Especially the Orthodox.

I have always believed that the test of community is not how it reaches out to the most powerful, but to the most vulnerable, to those – like the gay community – who suffer from discrimination. It follows that as Orthodox Jews, we have the responsibility of being more loving, more welcoming to the Orthodox gay community as well as to the gay community at large – welcoming them into our synagogues, and their children into our schools. This general approach was outlined in a courageous statement drafted by Rabbi Nati Helfgot in 2010.
Recent polls show around 80% support among religiously affiliated Jews in the US, the majority of which belong to Reform and Conservative Judaism.
Orthodox Judaism is currently struggling with the issue due to the controversy over conversion therapy and the high rates of suicide among Orthodox gay youth. Many Orthodox, except the ultra right wing, agree conversion therapy is harmful and the Rabbinical Council of America disassociated with JONAH, which was a Jewish group offer "healing" for gay Jews (Basically the Jewish version of Exodus International which just closed due to the damage it caused).
