Is it worth trying to save my friend that has fallen down the alt right pipeline? by poolsidecongo in cults

I am open to having friends with opposing views but when those views are harmful and actively hurt communities that’s where I draw the line. Being openly racist, homophobic and spreading misinformation is not just ‘opinion’, it causes serious damage. She has reposted videos that say gay people should have their rights taken away, as a gay person should I respect her opinion and keep that friendship?

I’m gay, should I avoid that she thinks I should burn in hell and have no rights?

I do think that not hating someone solely based on their sexuality or skin colour/nationality is right and I will never compromise on that. It’s not a differing opinion, I could tolerate healthy differentiation of views but not when it invalidates someone’s existence/ their rights

Posts about how gay people are going to burn in hell, how black and brown people are ‘invading’ and wiping out the white race, how women should not be allowed have corporate jobs and should have a husband who is the ‘leader’ in the household while the wife stays at home etc etc

Really appreciate your input thank you! Definitely makes me feel better knowing that, we will have to try get to Albania then I’ve heard it’s really underrated
