I suppose much of the apparent overreaction to one person's "unpopular belief" is the fear that it's secretly held by the majority: let's not pretend that gay rights are the most stable thing in the world right now. So whilst to us it's just "WINSTON IS WRONG!!! EVICT HIM!!!! SICKO!!!" there's basically an underlying worry that he and his party are canvassing the votes of like-minded people. Which they are. Weren't they the 3rd largest party in terms of votes across the country?

It may be an overreaction but it's a fair one - maybe 50 years down the line when gay adoption isn't still a "new thing" that could very quickly and promptly be written out of law by a party on the extreme right, we can all look back and laugh at the idea of adoption rights being at jeopardy. Right now we can't, really.
