I go to a very liberal college in a blue state (I live in a blue state too) but I'm a libertarian with quite a few right-wing beliefs. Of course I support gay rights and trans rights but I'm generally very "politically incorrect" and my views on things like immigration, gun control, tax reform, etc. have already alienated some of my left-wing friends and I'm not sure how to go about meeting new people in general, let alone potential partners. There's a large LGBTQ community on campus and the college has a queer center where a lot of LGBTQ students meet each other but I'm afraid that people there might become judgemental and hostile if they figure out that I'm not a leftist. I really enjoy talking about politics and I think it would be very difficult and stressful to avoid the topic with a romantic partner, or anyone I spend a lot of time with. I'm all for civil discussions with people who disagree with me, but I'm worried that I won't find someone who's open to that. I don't have much experience going to LGBTQ spaces or events but I'm under the impression that lesbians are a lot more likely to be leftists and third-wave feminists than most other demographics. I consider myself an egalitarian and I find the widespread misandry in the feminist community repulsive, so I don't think I could date a feminist. What should I do?
