Often people are discouraged to talk their mind until they feel that enough people thinks the same way. Anonimity allows that. You first see that there's a lot of people of your same opinion, then you "come out":

This is the case because people are so judgemental. As I posted in my original comment, eliminating the judgemental attitude of the majority of people would help with this.
- narag 16y agoWhy do you call it "devil's advocate"? I agree! I agreed to your previous comment too. "Coming out" seems to has been very useful for gays' rights. Maybe the question is in which point a controversy is. Is the controversial option legal? Or even are there laws that protect it? Current revolutions or cannabis are counter-examples. I'd also suggest to think about the asymmetry of responses. You might express your opinions in public, but someone could choose to anonymously not to hire you because of them.
