This is in anything. Don't want to take the vaccine? Gay/Lesbian? Hold a viewpoint or political view? Don't support abortion? Don't want to bake someone a cake? Don't like guns? etc?

You don't have to justify yourself to anyone. If you feel like you have to explain yourself, you lack integrity and need to re-examine yourself and where you are in your life and society.

Also, no one owes you any explanation. No one owes you any justification for anything. Stop being totalitarian thought-police. At the end of the day, you should be worrying about yourself, not Joe or Jane down the street.

conflict resolution is important to any healthy relationship, though

Aye, and conflict avoidance is also a legitimate interpersonal relationship dynamic. A spouse still doesn't owe any justification. It is often given because that's how that pair defines their relationship.

Maybe for close, real life relationships. Acquaintances and internet comments don't require that high a bar.

Non American here I have no worries what or who you are, Gay/Lesbian, Don't want to take the vaccine, abortion, what ever your point of view I don't care. Just don't force your point of view, lifestyle, race on me.

That's the way it's supposed to be but everyone gets offended by other-think now so now we have to be reminded that we owe no one explanations.
