I have nearly 300 Facebook friends. Half of them are fellow DS fans.
I'm openly gay, super liberal, pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, anti-tea party, half Israeli and very open about that too.
So how do I react when I see fellow DS fans who worship uber-homophobes like Glenn Beck/Sarah Palin, or who are pro-life and anti-marriage equality?
I'm doing a good deal of soul searching about this right now, as I see some of these fans postings jokes about killing Obama, or speaking out against choice & gay marriage. I have 8 DS friends who Liked Glenn Beck's Facebook page, four who Liked Palin's.
Some of these same people are also uber-supportive of Israel, where I once lived and hope to live again some day, which makes things even more confusing to deal with.
These people are always super polite and never post these things on my page.
I've thought of deleting them, but I don't want to be rude or too judgmental.
When it comes to DS fandom, do we leave our politics at the door and embrace people whose core beliefs are offensive to our own, and who might not support our personal liberties?
I'm really in a sort of mini-crisis about this, because I don't want to be rude to anyone who's not been rude to me.
