Unfortunately, what happens at a church often depends on the local bishop. For example, in the next diocese over is a church where gays and their families are not only welcome, but some of them are Eucharistic ministers. In my diocese, the current bishop and his predecessor are very sane men when it comes to politics. The pastor at my church last week brought up what a mess this election is. He then said, "I can't tell you what to do" and moved on. I wouldn't have liked it if he'd told everyone to vote for Hillary, either.
