What's a controversial issue on which the average person who disagrees with you has better moral character than the average person who agrees with you?

I'm struggling to understand why someone would support an issue they don't think is supported by people of high moral character. I understand people disagreeing about what good moral character is, but this question reads more like "what's an issue you choose to have an immoral stance on" 🤔

the implication is that there is an easily accessible bad reason and a much less accessible good reason to support the thing

I think it’s because some people don’t believe that consensus - even the consensus of people better than you - is the arbiter of truth. I think there are lots of lovely people who disagree with me about things, but their goodness otherwise doesn’t change my mind.
