Here's a gay man, which I would think gives him some authority, sharing his opinion on the matter of same-sex marriage, and here you are telling him his nuanced views are apartheid-enabling. These kinds of exaggerated reactions, false accusations and radical rhetoric is why I do not want to be associated with the self-proclaimed "progressives". To put it in your own terms: your type of demonizing slander has been used to support [insert horrible event].
