What would get me to change my mind in your examples would be if there was solid evidence of significant harm being done.

Like yes I 100% support gay marriage. I would change my mind if there was solid proof that all gay people who get married are secretly robots with a plot to destroy the world and it's not actually about love and human rights. (I know that would never happen, but if it did, I might change my mind! Because I follow the evidence.)

I keep all my old notebooks and was going through one that had a lot of to do lists. There was a list things to do before I went on vacation, and the only unchecked item was "hug [guinea pig]". She got sick while we were on vacation, then died a few weeks later. I get so sad now every time I think about that unchecked list item.
