That you’re able to feel comfortable staying your opinions in public is evidence your group has won.

Freedom of speech within the rules of the law should not lead to one becoming a pariah. Morals are relative and change overtime which causes culture wars like the one we’re in now. It benefits all to reduce the impact of these wars - ie, when people are operating within the law they should not be punished.
This means that we need laws we can all agree on…but that is a much more solvable problem than the mob rule we currently have. The current social environment is might makes right.
I was asking “which opinions should society learn to tolerate.” Would you care to expand on those?

I’m not sure how you’d square that with the idea of “freedom of association.”

Indeed. Your proposal would halt that process. Is that healthy? Who would that benefit, and who would that harm?

And the law does not punish them. I don’t think it ethical or moral to enshrine such viewpoint protection in the law. No group should be able to legally force someone to like them.
And frankly, that’s not what’s happening today. Nobody is being legally forced to accept LGBTQ people.

I don’t know how you’d solve that problem, short of coercion.
