But I suppose that mystery is a gift from God, I know that somewhere, somehow, and someday I will make be able to sort out all of this and find out WHO I AM and not just identify myself with whoever/whatever I associate myself with.
Perhaps I should just give up caring about politics all together and just concentrate on the one thing I know...love.

You're Brandon... that's the only label you'll ever need.
We're human -- we have a lot of leeway for changing, growing, and for adopting beliefs and opinions and then abandoning or adapting them as we learn and experience new things.
And as you go through life, you'll realize that certain values and belief systems that used to seem irreconcilable, can co-exist.
For example, I believe in and have a deep faith in God, and I was raised Catholic, yet I think that Christianity is one of the worst things to ever happen to humanity.
So just embrace the fact that you're an individual, and don't try to conform yourself to fit other people's labels.
