Probably a lot? I can't speak to that question specifically, since there aren't many Baptists in my area, but the Catholic Church leadership has a similarly anti-gay message to the SBC and lots of gay people are friends with Catholics.
Here, gay hide their gayness from such catholics. They occasionally do comment on their inability to express their gayness with those catholics. They also prefer company of people they dont have to so careful about keeping secret with.
Note the keeping secret part - it all stands on gay knowing he is not even in position to say I am gay without there being price.
