You're generalizing quite a bit - just because someone is a member of a political party doesn't mean that they ascribe to every value of that party's platform.
For example, I'm a Republican who also happens to be pro-choice and anti-death penalty. I know Democrats who are pro-death penalty and/or anti-gay marriage.
You may want to be more open-minded on things - life isn't so black and white, especially when it comes to politics.
It would be more devastating for me to hear that a parent would essentially disown their child for joining the "wrong" party.
