So you sign into your Facebook page and notice a friend has joined a group you strongly disagree with. What do you do?
This just happened to me. A girl a met on another website (I've never met her in person, only online) has joined a group against gay marriage. I believe it's absolutely ridiculous that anyone should have the right to tell 2 people who love each other that they can't get married, regardless what gender they are... how is it hurting you any?
Well that's beside the point. This is something I feel very strongly about, and now I'm furious to see that this person is actually opposed to gay marriage.
Well, I really needed to vent. Thanks for listening.
So what would you do if a Facebook friend joined a group you were very strongly against?

I don't delete anyone. I feel that it is an honor finding friends in life so, I see them as a gift in my life. So, no, I would not like to delete anyone but having said that I have deleted one lady from my friends list.
She made my day when she scolded me for no reasons. i had no choice but delete her because she asked me to do so!

I guess it would depend how close to the person I was. And it would I guess also probably have something to do with the issue too I guess. I think on that issue I probably would end up deleting the friend. If it was someone I knew in person I might not go that far though. But, I usually surround myself with people just like me so it probably wouldn't come up. I guess I would talk to them about it. I'm not very religious and I don't have a problem with gay marriage either. But maybe she has a good religious reason for her choice. Although I don't see what it would hurt. Things have changed.

That is a tough one. I have not had anyone on my friends list on facebook ever join a group that I was offended by or one that I truly disagreed with before. If it was someone that I really did not know as opposed to someone I was close with I guess it would make the decision a little easier.
