There is a Christian "fringe" (they'll love that) who do make a claim that getting near sinners necessarily compromises morality.

I can read that in the Mahabarat or the Bhagavid Gita as well ~ it's the essence of the caste system.

One of the reasons I distrust people who resort to that argument.

You miss the larger point. This is a meeting of an avowed homosexual group. They are clearly not repentant. In fact, homosexuality is the cause that drives them, otherwise they would be just another conservative group. I doubt Ann is going there to stand up for Christian truth. More likely, she will speak about political issues and ignore the larger issue of the group’s homosexual activism. That gives the group her tacit approval.

Christians aren’t supposed to avoid sinners. That is true. Christians also aren’t supposed to proselytize someone every time they meet them. BUT, this isn’t some chance or private interaction between believer and sinners. It’s a speech to a group with the EXPRESS political purpose of normalizing homosexuality, an abomination.

It’s deceptive, in my opinion, to frame this as a simple, private interaction between a believer and sinners.

BTW, a lot depends on how Ann handles the meeting. I’m neither fully opposed or in favor of the speech. If she stands up for Christian truth, then she deserves our acclaim. If, on the other hand, she ignores the so called elephant in the room (aka homosexual activism), then she deserves our opposition. I think we should wait to see what she does before we reach a conclusion one way or the other.
