Just using the gay marriage argument for one example. Being against gay marriage is like being against holding hands, because it offends thee ! The relationship of others has nothing to do with you, nor does their relationship impact yours and yet you have made a judgment on the nature of their relationship and refused to have it recognised in wider society. What a thing, to tell a fellow citizen they're 'lesser', it makes me feel dirty just to think there are such people, that's why you get called out on it.
Speaking as an old, white, hetro male.
Yes, you can and should have an opinion but yes, people can call you out on your bull$hit and 'hatred'.
