I do engage with my grandma. She is old and a product of her generation and I love her, but I'm more than happy to call her out, so to speak. Not on everything, and I do it in a very gentle or light-hearted way, but I do it. Even if it's just an exaggerated and exasperated "Oh, Grandma!" (in my best Minnesota Nice accent) that lets her know I don't like what she said. I never yell or fight with her. I don't mind if she gets a little defensive - it gives us the opportunity to have a talk about why I didn't like what she said. If she wants to talk about gay people or something (which is TOUGH for her - it's just not something her generation ever spoke of out loud) I tell her I think it's great that she's comfortable having this conversation with me, and that though we disagree, it's cool we can have talks like this.

I know it depends on the grandparents, but honestly, old people CAN still change. They aren't brain dead. My grandma has made baby steps, and has more awareness about the crap that flies out of her mouth. She's gotten to the point with gay people that she acknowledges they mean well and she still loves her gay grandchild, even if she does believe it goes against the Bible... when before, it would've been something that would be too horrifying to even speak of. Point being, there's no need to treat them like infants. Love them, be gentle and understanding, but you can give them nudges when they need it.
