Individuality or Group Identity?

Hmmm, I don't think I would have defended them East. I might have clarified the situation if I felt more informed about their reasonings, but I would still be like, "You know, they're doing what they think is best for their organization. I personally don't agree, but that's why I'm not in their organization." I think there are certain things we need to value - equality, opportunity, freedom of speech/expression, etc. - but that doesn't mean we can't recognize there are other values that we can go ahead and disagree with.

For example, I may or may not want kids, regardless, I'll support that gays should be able to adopt regardless of my views on having kids myself. But if there were a gay association for homeschooling, I might disgree with it and not defend it. I don't feel the need to defend other white people or other males just because I'm a white male, and I don't share all the same values as other gays just because I'm gay too.
