This is my point too. Can you really be shamed by things you're not already a little ashamed of? Don't have some cognitive dissonance about? https://twitter.com/DurinnMcfurren/status/822903164861120513 …

Some ppl say homosexuality is disgusting & they have no problem with being considered to have a prejudice against it. They think that's good
-
While others say being called homophobic is hateful attempt to shame them into silence even as they admit prejudice on grounds of sexuality
-
Often the latter ppl are religious & they feel they have good motives for opposing homosexuality. Conflicting notions of what is good.

We can only ask that ppl don't try to hold back equal rights, obv, but can still say that prejudice is prejudice.

If you think you have a good reason for the prejudice - eg like the one I have against Islam - why wld you mind ppl saying it

Yes, fear of punitive consequences is easily understood. Trying to separate this from fear of disapproval.

@DurinnMcfurren I can see being hurt by people perceiving you as a bad person for being opposed to something you think needs opposing. -
It might not just be shame. One could realize that being perceived as a racist, sexist etc. might have negative

effect on their life, that of their families. This might also have a silencing effect.

Yes, I covered this first before going to separate out the psychological stuff.

Oh. Sorry.

Was trying to work out how much we actually fear disapproval vs real-life consequences of disapproval.
