In the vast majority of cases, that view will be perfectly reasonable and it is YOUR opinion and judgement of them that is entirely distorted. They may vote Tory to lower unemployment or because they like the MP in question. Who are you to judge them for it, least of all cast shame on someone for loving someone merely because of how their partner votes?

A decent open minded person will judge people on their character, not on how they happen to vote or any other identity they may hold. History is littered with people who have been discriminated against and worse for perfectly reasonable political opinions.

Like I said, I think you are a bigot, but your bigotry is acceptable to you, but that is the case with them all.
So you would be fine with your kid marrying a white supremacist then? Or an extremist Islamic preacher? You would rather your kid married a bigot than be accused of being one yourself?
