Coming out when you have been raised in a fundamentalist background is very difficult, and has echoes that last for awhile.
I know that he is concerned about the present moment: what will happen in his next election campaign, living with the judgements of those around him, coming from every angle and perspective.
Which is why I think that what really matters is for some time to pass. Maybe a lot of time, maybe 10 or 20 years. By that point he will be a lot less concerned about the judgements of others, a lot clearer about who he is and what he wants out of life, and--with some luck, some wisdom, and a lot of hard work--have made a life for himself with a loving partner.
