Depends on the controversial opinion. For something that doesn't feel properly established, you could try listing citations. For something that's more in the realm of a pure opinion where there's no clear right or wrong, you could couch the opinion in a disclaimer or explain why you feel that way. For some opinions, there's probably no good way to state them because they're inherently controversial.

Given that society is to some measure arbitrary, a lot of opinions on how to run it can vary greatly and often depend on some very fundamental core beliefs. When people start from very different premises, they're going to wind up with very different -- albeit not always wrong -- conclusions. That said, even people with popular (or more specifically less controversial) opinions may try to state them provocatively or controversially just to get a rise out of people so it's often not a matter of the opinion.
