That's weird, I could have sworn I didn't say "being gay and against gay marriage makes you a Nazi". I was pretty sure I said something to the effect of "collaborators exist in every group", and then I implied that LGBTQ folk (like myself) who are against same-sex marriage (not like myself) collaborate with heterosexism (which they do), regardless of their reason for doing so.
To address your idea of "there was always a line you could cross that would get you banned", the reality is that that line is generally hypothetical. If you say "same-sex marriage is wrong" people will say "well, that's your opinion" instead of "that's homophobic". If you say "I hate black people" people will say "well, you said that when you were young" not "that's racist". If you say "actually, Hitler stood up for his belief in exterminating the Jews, and that's good", people will break their fucking backs to bend over to say "well, you're not REALLY a Nazi, because if you were, you'd be banned, and you're not banned, so thus you can't be a Nazi".
There is no line when it comes to "universal tolerance" fetishists. It's always the horizon. When someone gets there, you will just say "well, the horizon's over there, and we're not at the horizon yet", no matter how far racists attempt to drag our fandom. Those like you will find any excuse, no matter how ridiculous, to justify any action, no matter how racist, and the rest of us will see racism for what it is and stamp it out whenever and wherever we can.
