Real friends don't make friendships based on this or that opinion.... that's an internet thing.
I actively avoid being friends with people that hold abhorrent opinions, like anything to do with overt racism, transphobia, etc.
Most people's opinions tend to not be this extreme, however.
Anybody that's part of a persecuted minority group should not put themselves in more danger by allowing people that don't recognize their right to exist into their social circles.
I think you're right. But it can be worth it to try to change a mind.
You don't have shared interests with your friends? I existed before Internet was a thing and I can confidently say it's not.
Maybe the true Scotsmen were the friends we made along the way?
