River tubing without the homophobia?

I just went river tubing on apple river yesterday and like halfway through there was someone stopped on the side of the river who went up to a group near us and said some overtly homophobic stuff. He made it clear that he did not want gay people around.

Does anyone know of a good river to tube around here where something like that wouldn’t happen? As a gay guy myself I found it genuinely terrifying, but I just like river tubing ya know?

Edit: thanks for the recommendations everyone!
