Some of us don't have the luxury not to care about politics. As an LGBT+ Hispanic I don't think I can be friends with people who want to take my rights away, think I'm less than human, and deport those of my heritage

Many here. Welcome to a Freethinker Communiy.

Hi,Matt , and welcome to the website,

I wouldn't say that about myself. I avoid both religious people and Trump supporters as much as possible and if I see any of them on this website, I block them since I would never consider them for either friends or romantic partners.

By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve for dating.

If you answer the profile questions and write your profile, listing your hobbies and interests, you'll earn website points, and members can get to know you.
Commenting on posts and writing your own earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

The website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Many women prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find compatible partners.

In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.

Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.

My problem isn't the religion or the politics getting in the way of friendship. However I cannot be friends with someone who condones hate against another human being. I cannot be friends with someone who believes that some humans are better or more deserving than other humans. You can have whatever political and religious views you want as long as you treat all humans with the dignity and respect that we all deserve. Whether you hate subsets of humanity yourself or you promote that hate in others by supporting policies designed to discriminate, we cannot be friends.

I'm not saying anyone here hates others, I'm just saying that sometimes ones political or religious beliefs make it impossible for me to associate with you.

It appears you have arrived at the right place. Enjoy.

I live in Northern Ireland, ALL my friends are either protestant or catholic AND they all go to their various churches. They don’t bother me with their beliefs and I don’t try to make them see my more rational viewpoint. I am a bit more vocal when it comes to politics, but even then I woudn’t let a good debate get in the way of friendship. Without friends we are the poorer, people are more important than ideologies.

Ok, but there are sheep and sheep, beeahh

So now I am a sheep, am I ?
