[quote=Anonymous]I've got a different take: racists and homophobic people can be good parents, good grandparents, and even good people in many respects. I've had to interact with quite a few. While I abhor their views on race and sexual orientation, they are often kind, giving, and well-intentioned in many areas of their lives. So--do I shun them? Except in extreme cases, no. I view them as I would adulterers: people whose (terrible) flaws cause pain to others, but not people who are wholly defined by their flaws. When racism/homophobia come up, I civilly but seriously disagree, and often discuss. I won't claim to have saved any souls, but over time most have toned down the rhetoric and become more nuanced in how they express their views.[/quote]
