Some things that come to mind are when:

Who we are becomes a target of those that wish to use the force of law to make us conform to their personal beliefs.

Personal religion is used as a basis for legislation.

Personal differences of opinion are not recognized as such, but used as a reason to weild power over others, be it personally or virtually. In other words, "shut up (or I will make you) because I don't like your opinion."

When something matters enough that you take a stand, even if it costs you personally.
