The second statement _absolutely_ does not follow from the first. You can consider Prop 8 immoral and wrong, and still want it protected by freedom of speech.
And calling the internet's behavior "a lynch mob" or a "witch hunt" is not interfering with anyone's freedom of speech, so you don't have to worry about that.

Read any of the "witch hunt" articles to see plenty of people whose position is that Brendan did nothing wrong, but the people who condemned him did.
