26. And yet for years DU was comfortable in sharing Freeper opposition to marriage equality.

In fact, several DUers are or have been Freepers and some have held the same anti equality positions on both sites.
Funny that DU did not run from homophobia the moment they saw it in Freepers. Instead DU invited Freepers to post here, knowing full well they had posted horrible things about gay people on FR and everywhere else.
To this day, DU nurtures and harbors several virulently anti gay posters, some of whom are 'former' Freepers.
So I am not exactly sure what the OP's point is here.
