This.
If you choose to tolerate someone with those views, because they are family, or whatever it is one thing, but it is not an obligation to offer 'respect' to someone who condemns who you are.
It's quite a bit easier when one is not a member of the targeted population to 'tolerate' bigotry. And yet it is the minority itself that is expected to 'tolerate' the most. At some point it's just not healthy.
/not out to family because I don't at this point want to face that.
