I have no issue with dismissing the opinion of others if you find fault in their prior statements or opinions, I just don't think it's always wise. I follow quite a few varied opinions on YouTube on these subjects, from Sam Harris to Matt Christiansen and beyond. As much as I agree with many of the things they say, I also disagree with them a lot as well. I don't know of a single individual that shares my perspective on all these topics.
With that said, I still don't recall any instances where Matt Christiansen trashed gay marriage, used anti-gay insults, or supported hate speech. That statement is actually pretty frustrating because I'd consider Christiansen to be fairly moderate, fair, and constructive. When somebody like him is given those labels, it's difficult for reasonable discussion to follow.
