Do you need to agree with an artist’s lifestyle or politics to appreciate their art? To spend money on it?
I don’t need to agree to at least witness the art. If money is going to change hands then the rules are different. If I’m going to pay someone for their artwork then either we should be compatible or they should remain as much a mystery to me as possible. I don’t like gun-toting crazy-eyed conservatives who wear three-point hats and kvetch about government tyranny. Looking is free or covered by a door charge for the event, but buying requires more.
