Disagree? I think it's safe to say that someone who campaigned to ban same sex marriage is more than just disagreeing. He's trying to ruin millions of lives.

He was an Obama birther conspiracist.

He thought gays shouldn't be allowed to join Boy Scouts.

He was a big supporter of Netanyahu.

This aren't things that are even remotely in the same ballpark as disagreement. If someone is using their celebrity status to cause harm to millions or tens of millions, I think we can say a few unkind words about them when they go.
