Just because it has a chance to happen doesn't mean it's an inevitability.
Feels like an example of confirmation bias.
I'm not even saying I agree. I think privacy is important. I'm just playing devil's advocate for the OPs question.

The couldn't the person just cite all the times that hasn't happened?
Hate towards beiefs is fine, and I think you'd even agree with that. Would you agree it's bad to believe that a subset groups of people should be removed from the world? I would hope you agree that that is a bad belief and doesn't need to be accepted.
But it's also missing the point. Being gay isn't a belief, it's just the way someone is - just like race, just like gender. It's not a belief like a political stance is.
They're two different things and it's not hypocritical to treat them differently.
That feels like a scapegoat argument. That reduces down to "bad things happen when bad people do bad things."
You can argue against anything when you say that.
"Dentists should be outlawed because some dentists have abused their clients " Isn't a fair argument either.
