I will not participate in a ritual if I actively do not agree with the intent of the ritual. Additionally, if I know in advance that I am likely to find part of a ritual offensive to the point at which the energy that I put into it is likely to be negative, I will not participate. I don't think that it serves either myself or the other ritualists for me to do so.

If it's simply that the purpose of the ritual is not important to me, I would probably lend my energy to it and participate if the ritual --and my participation in it -- is important to people about whom I care.

zpdiduda said it well enough that I'm just going to echo her here.
