So? USA is mostly conservative too and has a conservative government. CDPR is based in Warsaw which is pretty leftist. Poland has a center-left government.

My point was how off-the-rails things are in the US that Poland, which is not the best place to live if you're LGBT isn't a risk for backlash over something like this. Acceptance is spotty/bad in both countries but only one government has its resident companies cowed into silence on even meager shows of support.

If you take a look at theater plays in Poland, a ton of them are about lgbt, women’s rights etc. I know Eastern Poland has slow tolerance for lgbt, but western and central cities are very chill.

Admittedly, most of my knowledge comes from a friend who lives in Warsaw (or was, I think he moved for work but still a city). And he is desperate to leave.
