Was this patronizing?

"Always good to stand up for what you believe in."

Not to me, it doesn't.

No, I don't think so. I guess it depends on who was saying it, and if they were being sincere, or not. It's something I believe, and so do many others. I'm guessing that was said to you by someone who doesn't have the same beliefs/lifestyle that you do? In that case, i would interpret it as "Although we are different people, it's totally cool that you are an individual, and shouldn't change that for anyone". Unless, of course, that person is a condescending a**hole, in which I'd tell him/her to go screw theirselves.

How would that be patronizing?

I said it to someone else and I realized it may have sounded trite.

That doesn't seem patronizing to me. I think if the other person had a problem with it, they would have told you.
