I get that you should be supportive of your family in whatever they do, but I think you can draw the line when it comes to activism, especially if it's a cause that you do agree with, can never relate to, and/or outright despise.

Being forced to support a family member's activism means that they will have a certain degree of influence or control over your life. For example, if you have a family member who is a gun control activist, you shouldn't let that stop you from purchasing and owning a gun if you wish, but I know several people who were pressured to give up their guns because their younger relatives decided to become activists after watching David Hogg.

It could also affect your career and your financial life. I've known several people who were offered high paying jobs but were threatened to be cut off by their activist family members because the business in question had an owner or CEO that was openly right-wing or something like that.

Always remember that you are your own person and you shouldn't let your family members' politics get in the way of how you want to live your life.

Activism is a religion for most people these days. Considering it to be value-neutral is a losing proposition.
