I homeschool my kid (properly) for medical reasons, and I did not realize until I tried going to homeschool events how messed up the culture is. I'm in a purple state. It's so hard to find anyone who homeschools who isn't bigoted. There are a few, and I'm trying to cultivate relationships with them, but it's difficult when they're so few and far between. My county is liberal, but the city in the next county over would be a better fit if we could move or regularly travel an hour away. I don't want my kid around these bigoted parents. He has good friends who are in public school, but my kid is too young to go to school with his multiple medical conditions (especially considering I've personally seen these schools neglect medically fragile kids), so he mostly only gets to see his friends on the weekends.
