Answer 1

Just because two people don't share the same views doesn't mean they can't be friends or work together. It might make it alittle more difficult but it's not hard to do. I have plenty of co-workers that I disagree with on many issues. Example: The confederate flag. A common mistake made today is that disagreement equals hate. It does not. Both sides can have conflicting views and still get along as long as there is mutual respect between the two people. Best of luck to you.

Answer 2

I just get along. I'm best friends with someone who's views are different. She doesn't support LGBT rights but I do. We are still amazing friends and just don't talk/argue about it. Our friendship is more important to us than anything.

Answer 3

You guys just need to understand you both have different views on these subjects. It's okay to have a different opinion, just respect his/her's opinions as well. I have a friend who doesn't support gay marriage but I do. Instead of arguing we focus on things we have in common and just push aside our differences.
