There is a difference between not being liked by everyone and willingly doing something that you don't like around you.
This may be a free speech zone, but there is no need to willingly engage in lawlessness.
There is a saying in my country, "郷に入っては郷に従え"
In English, it is 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
In Russian, it's "волками жить по-волчьи выть.", "гостях воля хозяйская.", "чужой монастырь со своим уставом не ходят." and so on.
I think you'd better make a little concession on your part and be cooperative to fit in with your surroundings.
