Having attended many parties, of many sorts, and mixed with many different groups of people over many years and in many cities, I plump for B. Every time.

Free speech is about the state dictating what is or is not acceptable, it is not about free people freely expressing contempt for contemptible behaviour.
Refusal to finance a platform for thugs to spew their venomous bile does not constitute censorship.
Financing a platform constitutes support.
paraphrased from Lord Vetinari
"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

I recall some years ago dating a really beautiful if somewhat pretentious young lady*. Anyway, I was around her house one evening with several of her friends that I found varyingly, slightly objectionable to utterly loathsome.
Lo and behold it comes time for drugs and I was the only one to decline, to much mocking. Now as a Libertarian, take whatever drugs you want, and the mocking of fuckwits, meh…. but I do remember the general decline in sense and seemingly mental age in the room. Pointless giggling and later munching on chocolates**
That said, being the only straight person in the room is okay for many reasons.
(*I was young and would tolerate nonsense for beauty at the time)
(**Marijuana of course)
