Brendan Eich was free to try and stop gay marriage. But where is it written that others don't get to call him a bigot for doing so? Freedom cuts both ways. Nobody should get immunity from being criticized.
> I just don't understand why we can't just live and let live
Because gay people want to marry and are tired of people not letting them just live their lives the way they want to... in matrimony?
As far as policing what you say, I can assure you from my experiences with my half-black fiance, apologies for unintentional flubs work wonders. Much discrimination is unintentional (e.g., the Implicit Association Test: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit-association_test https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit-association_test), so an apology and the intent to learn from mistakes goes a long way.
