I would say to an extent yes, but you also lack the experience and personal risk involved.

That's not to say you can't have an opinion on those things, but you have to understand when your rights are never, have never and will never been truly under treat it's extremely easy to say things like 'it's a slippery slope'.

A slippery slope towards authoritarianism and a slippery slope towards allowing people in power to embolden hatred towards minorities are both bad things, but you are mainly bothered by the first one because it will affect you while the second one doesn't.

I don't mean to say you are FOR hatred towards minorities, but you are underestimating how much confidence the words of people in power give to those who need an excuse to be hateful and discriminatory.

Forcing a gay private business owner to serve someone who is instrumental is promoting hate, even though legal, is quite gross.
