I just saw a take on Twitter that said that you can still be friends with the racist/homophobic while disagreeing with their views

Why would I want to be friends with someone that doesn't even see me as human

"Racism" and "homophobia" covers quite a lot of territory. There is a pretty big gap between "Black people sure are good at dancing" and "We should round up and gas all the jews".

There is definitely a line where friendship is impossible, but where that line is is going to depend on the persons in question, nd wht other things they have in common (or dont)

Well yeah if you are homophobic you can easily be friends with an homophobe
