If you’ve never heard a member of a really large group give an opinion counter to the opinion you and most people you know hold, then you haven’t met enough members of that group.

It’s pretty much that simple.  It doesn’t matter what the issue is, there’s going to be someone in that group who believes differently than you.  And usually there’s going to be large groups of people within that group who believe differently than you.  Some of them will have never met someone within that group who believes what you believe.  Because a lot of communities are kind of island-like when it comes to things like that – people mostly associate with people they agree with.  Which I think is unfortunate, but it happens.
