Are people entitled to their opinion?

I believe everyone can have their own opinion that differs from everyone else’s, but they aren’t “entitled” to it. Usually when people say they’re entitled to their opinion its after they said something disrespectful or hurtful towards other people. If you want to say you’re entitled to your opinion then you should be able to come up with reasons to backup what you’re saying. Thats my opinion on the topic even though im not entitled to it.
