The 4 or 5 times that you did on the last two pages of this thread. Like, giving yourself a qualifier or otherwise adding or inserting statements or testimonies is typically irrelevant, unnecessary, and indicative that there is something going on in your head.
For example:
"I just don't think that two men were designed to be together in a natural way and when we let them do it, it just opens the door for a lot of other problems. And I'm not homophobic or anything, I was always taught to treat people equally so it's not like I just want to discriminate and stuff, but I just think that there is something else going on and maybe we should think about how it's going to effect their adopted children growing up, or maybe their neighbors or whatever, you know? There's just more going on then it looks like at first that we have to think about."
Obviously a bigoted statement with an insertion in there to maybe make the listener think otherwise. It kind of shows that you are aware of what to say and what not to say when talking about something in order to present yourself in a neutral way and are willing to make corrections to your words if you feel that something you say could be perceived negatively.
You basically said "I'm not sexist so when I express my sexist viewpoint don't think that I'm sexist.
