there are a few differences here. first, while prejudice and discrimination are both widely considered to be immoral, having interests in television shows typically is not. second, actively putting people who are prejudiced discriminators into power is quite a bit different from simply condoning their presence or ignoring those qualities of them as friends.
i've been friends with people that hold a lot of views i don't agree with and who do a lot of things that i find morally unfavorable. simply being friends with them or being in their presence doesn't attribute those qualities to me, however, if i were to be elected to the highest office in the nation and knowingly promote them to positions where they had the authority to legitimately carry out those things, you might have reasonable grounds to suspect that i sympathize a bit with those viewpoints

He is also on the Republican Party platform which is particularly anti-LGBT

and as has been said, actions speak louder than words. and even if Annoying Orange's personal viewpoints differ and he's simply acting along party lines for a political end, his actions are what actually affect the lives of LGBT individuals.
