There's a logical flaw in his argument. You are NOT trying to shove your onion-love down his throat. It's the Onion haters who are making an issue out of it, while onion lovers would most likely prefer to just get on with their lives.
And every time I try to get further in my analysis I get stymied because I cannot see any logic in his statement whatsoever, which makes it impossible to argue. I have this same issue with my own family. You cannot argue to change someone's belief system. Sure, you can destroy it logically, but that won;t change their mind and will in all probability make them dig their heels in harder that you think you're better than them and you are trying to limit their rights (no matter this is exactly what they are doing - people are blind to their own hypocrisy).
I'm sorry you're going to lose a friend over this, though... that's the worst feeling.
