If this were 1967, would you be bemoaning intolerance toward those who believe blacks shouldn't be allowed to marry whites? Even those who actively worked to keep their disgusting beliefs enshrined in law? Would you tell those whose rights they were trampling on that they should be tolerant toward hatred?
You are telling the victims of aggressive bigotry they're not allowed to criticize their attackers. In no universe does that make sense.
By the way, at last poll, 59% of Americans supported same-sex marriage. That percentage keeps going up with a fair bit of speed. Opposition is rapidly becoming anything but mainstream. Not that whether an opinion is mainstream or not has anything to do with whether it's morally or ethically right, nor does it have anything to do with whether people are subject to criticism and ostracism by the victims of their attempts to legally enforce their religious beliefs.
But how anyone could classify 59% of Americans as "left-wing" is utterly beyond me. I'd classify 59% of Americans as far-right.
