I've been sitting on this since this past friday (it's wednesday now), but I wanted to get some feedback on what happened. For the record, the parties involved were my friend and the girl he was with, not me. The three of us went downtown together.

You are going out with a person to a social gathering- bar, club, etc. You know the person a good bit, but not very thoroughly. They are extremely attractive, totally "your type", and have a great personality. Just very cool person all around.

But then, you find out that person is extremely bigoted against gays. Like.. there were two men just hugging, not making out or anything, and she literally points and says "that's disgusting". She complained the whole rest of the evening about "having to see that". Basically, she's a total bigot towards gays.

So the real bredth of the question is this:

How far would you go with a person whose ideals/morals are very disagreeable to you?

EDIT: Due to the comments made in some posts, i'll add the following: I obviously didn't make it clear enough, but she complained ALL NIGHT following that event, going on and on about 'why they have to be like that where [she] can see it'. It was a very long tirade that lasted the rest of the evening. This was not a snap-judgment, this was a night-long observation.

As you were.
