Sure. But stance itself is universally harmful as it's about forcing one beliefs onto other. Also in Poland such stances are kinda synonymous with religion or at least voicing such is popular among religious.
Do you mean the very idea of a stance about these issues is harmful? Or just the religious stance?
I think it's worthwhile to remember that there are people who wish to force acceptance of homosexuality or women's reproductive rights onto others just the same. I don't think that's right, either. Forced adherence to any viewpoint, whether we agree with it or not, is fascism, and not how societies progress.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
