Holding a view is different than thinking the view is OK to hold.

AND, most people (you'd accuse of thinking the view is ok to hold) don't think these views *are* ok to hold, but are caught in a purposefully wide net.

Like, often we hear that: * proposition 8 was fascist * brendan eich is a fascist because he donated to it * supporting brendan eich is fascist

I agree with marriage equality. (it is actually good conservatism, even!) But I disagree that prop 8 was fascist (and according to some that probably makes me a fascist as well)
