I don't think anyone said it's wrong for people to like him? AIRT was expressing confusion at their own feelings that they felt were excessive, and I was explaining my own because I feel similarly. I can't speak for them, but I'm not really making an argument for how other people should feel, just talking through how I feel.
Of course I'm going to like a dude who expresses progressive views more than one who doesn't, but I don't feel like the context should really give him that big a leg-up in my eyes. I know plenty of people who come from environments that are equally if not more homophobic and I don't give them cookies for going to Pride or arguing with douchebags on Twitter, so why should it be any different for him?
