Another thing I would say. There HAVE to be limits.

Would I be friends and associate with someone who is a NAMBLA advocate? No, that is so far beyond the line, I would never knowingly associate with someone like that. Many people WOULD knowingly associate with pedophiles, see Marion Zimmer Bradley's "husband."

Would I choose to be friends with someone who voted for Biden? Yes. Who advocates for open borders? Yes. Who believes in defunding the police? Yes. Because I believe that there might be good and rational people who disagree with me. To believe that my beliefs are the only good, logical, rational, or reasonable beliefs is...insane. And typical of leftists in my experience.
