Moreover, opinions cannot "infringe on the rights of people" - only actions can.

Not much of a stretch here, bigotry is the intolerance of people based on their beliefs or opinions.
Opinions can't infringe on rights, but they're obviously referring to opinions that actions which
do are acceptable.
