"will put me into a torture camp" for sure, but "devalues my life or personhood" is pretty vague. So, for example, if I value guns and consider them necessary for my well being and personal safety, should I refuse to work with anyone who votes for increased gun control? This sounds like a recipe for very fragmented, unstable society.

If gun owners are being denied health care or being told who they can marry ("it's illegal to marry a fellow gun owner"), then yes, they'll probably want to avoid anyone wretched enough to advocate that.

Short of that, it's NBD right? Not really comparable.

It's absolutely comparable. They both involve limiting rights and freedoms.
That's a strawman, because that isn't about the value of my life or my personhood.
