Hmmm...I might sneak something in there every once in a while, but for the most part I'm going to try to stay out of it. I'm just now going through a process of figuring out who I am...I have no business commenting on other stuff.

So get off the cross, and quit making **** up. You would be lucky if your parents reacted the way people here have. Just saying. Even though people are questioning your "gay politics", they've still been very supportive of your actual gayness, if not your politics. And they wouldn't have been supportive of your politics no matter if you were gay or not. Admit it. You felt the love. I even sent you some love and blessings. I'm not minimizing your difficult road, but I am saying you may be misinterpreting things people have said. ie = Gay - always good. Republican politics = always bad. See?

Do we accept their apology and move forward, or do we hold past indiscretions against them for all time?

That's like when I was trying to figure out how to be someone Stevie knew in a past life so I would be invited backstage. ei, it's never gonna happen.

I don't know... maybe I'm just feeling a little protective of him right now, knowing how painful the coming out process can be when you have religious and familial conflictions.
