I think he would hang out with all of us. I think there are conservatives, who, even though they reject gays and lesbians, are very loving people. I think that their beliefs arise not out of some hatred or fear of GLBT persons, but out of assertions about the way the world should be. I strongly disagree with them, but I don't think that just because someone is anti-gay that makes them a hateful person.
That being said, I think that Jesus would hang out less with the "religious right" (and the "secular left") and would hang out with the same people described in the Gospels.
Namaste.
