A large part of my thinking about whether to give my money to an artist who has view I find repugnant has to do with how they act on those views. Also how much of that bleeds over into their work (see Card's Hamlet rework versus Sanderson continuing with and adding gay characters in Wheel of Time) Card, clearly actively working against gay rights. Sanderson, is not out speechifying against their rights and is probably not giving large amounts of money to oppose Prop 8 and such.
I can't just categorically shun everyone with those sorts of views or I'd have to shun a substantial branch of my family tree. I was googling a relative recently and many of the top hits were political donation lists with large sums next to Republican names. It made me sad.
