I mean wanting to deny people their rights for your own religious purposes? That's homophobic in and of itself. Social Conservatives are just shitbags, and there's no reason to dance around that fact.
Even if all that is true, do you think about your end goal? What are you trying to accomplish? If it's changing someone's mind, calling them a shitbag is just going garden them in their position. If it's changing the mind of a third party observer, it's not doing much for your case either.
Ultimately what you are left with is that it makes you feel good to do it. Which is the oldest reason anybody insults anybody.
What is all this shit about ulterior motives or end goals all the time. I just speak my mind honestly regardless of how it turns out. I trust that honesty is the best policy and it's not like I could live with myself if I had other motives anyway.
When most people speak I normally assume that they are saying X because they believe X, not that they say X because saying X achieves Y.
It's starting to piss me off that everyone assumes ulterior motives. Like if you say something provocative it's not because you have an opinion that happens to be provocative it's because you're trying to be provocative. All that bullshit. Not fucking everyone has to have a stupid fucking ulterior motive. I don't have any motive when I swear like that either other than to tell it like it is.
