yep, it's exactly along the lines of "I don't hate black people, i like and respect them. I just don't want to have them eating in my restaurant". a perfectly acceptable phrase 50 years ago, but now it's universally viewed as ugly and backwards. hopefully the same will be said about the "I don't hate gays, i just oppose gay marriage" line in a few decades
