For example, imagine a physicist has supported an initiative against gay marriage, and my values dictate that I won't be friends with that physicist. Is society better off if I also get that physicist fired, and he is now working as a Uber driver or becomes homeless?

I would consider that a calibration issue -- does opposing gay marriage really require being fired from an unrelated academic position? is it that severe, or that relevant, an offense that this consequence is good to seek?
