I don't think it's fair to say "privately held belief." He supported a campaign to change public laws. What society can we have when there are no reasonable limits on how people can judge and prosecute you for your attempts to change public law?

He supported a campaign that was supported by over half the voters in CA.

By definition, if over half the people supported the position, it's "reasonable".

Oh, certainly... What does that have to do with my comment?

In my comment, I say nothing about whether or not the campaign was reasonable. I don't think that's a good argument to make. I did say that it's reasonable to judge someone based on their (reasonable or not) attempt to change public law.
