My inlaws, who I really love, are very vocal about their views on certain things... to other people. If certain topics come up with my family or my inlaws, we either have respectful conversations or leave it at agreeing to disagree. But there is one member of my husband's family who I think is a great person except that he has very disrespectful opinions about groups of people . We just don't talk about it. I have to leave it at that. I do not fall into any of the groups, or it might be a different story. It's tough though. I'm definitely of the mind that (g)you do need to break up with some friends for a variety of reasons, and these are good ones.
