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" 🤔

Kids are much less intelligent than adults, yet it is popularly believed that they have a more innocent, better moral character than most adults

Alternatively, having the right opinion on some question might be a matter of intelligence, which you might say is orthogonal to (ie. a totally separate dimension from) good moral character. Each individual question also has its own idiosyncratic bias, and so some of the time you get an anti-correlation

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.
