Yeah, that's how I read it too. Some people (and let's be real, these people are mostly members of more socially privileged groups) love to say things to the effect of "I can't be homophobic, I'm not literally killing LGBT preschoolers right now as we speak", so they can still say shit like "gay people shouldn't be allowed to adopt because <bullshit reasoning>" while also patting themselves on the back for not being like those Strawmen of Pure Hatecrime on the other side of the fence.
This applies to all privileged groups.
