I live in Los Angeles. The vast majority of people just don't care enough because there's a lot more to talk about than hot button issues. There is one issue that I stick out like a sore thumb and that's guns. I haven't had any issue discussing that with anyone.
As for Christian faith, I don't think there'd be an issue if you delivered the message the right way. People might think you're a bit puritanical and strange if you mentioned those things but if you're bringing those specific things up, you ARE being puritanical.
I find it incredibly easy to talk about guns here in LA. I just tell people I'm a Marxist (I'm not actually, I'm way left of Marx but that's a totally different conversation) and Marx said the people shall not be disarmed, then say we need groups like the Black Panthers to stop right wing violence against the left, and they just sort of agree, even if they were previously gun controllers. IDK, seems easy.
Also, I don't think I've ever met anyone, even Brady Bill campaigners, who haven't also made exceptions like "if they have to get a gun license that renews every few years like a driver's license and pass a test and purchase insurance then it's fine" when it comes to gun control. Haven't ever met a "take all guns away" person, and I know a whole helluva lot of liberals.
Also, since the Bible only says not to lay with a man as you would a woman, being a bottom or only doing oral is Biblically fine, but being a top isn't if the man happens to have a vagina, which is the only way to lay with a man as a woman. So you only have to judge the bears who fuck trans men. Lesbianism is fine in various arts of the Bible. Bestiality is talked down on though, if a woman in specific does it with an animal that is - "exchanging the natural use" and all. So you farmers are OK.
