A: I think they are afraid or reprisal. Being called a racist, bigot, disgusting, etc. It's hard to speak one's mind when you are sure that you would be ignorantly ridiculed simply on the grounds that your beliefs differ. Lynching don't just occur because you are different, sometimes they do simply on the basis you think different.

Still, as long as you can stand by and support your ideas, you should not have any reason to fear speaking your mind.

In short, I think it's an effort to fit in, not rock the boat, and not be viewed negatively because you believe one way on an issue that gets people really agitated and angry.
