I don't disrespect anyone or their feelings, but it seems like a flawed reaction to treat someone with insensitivity because of past comments that they seem to be genuinely sorry for.

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

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.
No, I won't miss it, I hate it. I think it's lame (for me). But others might....

Not to seem rude at all, but it seems that it's only one point of view.

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?
Yea I did from some people. I guess I just got the impression that some did not believe me or something. Do I have the makings of a drama queen already?

Maybe I was getting the politics/gayness thing confused.

Now you my dear can go hug a tree
That just ain't for me!

I see your point, but in an attempt to take other viewpoints into consideration, I have to say that it's not always that simple.

You know what, Sparky? We are both descendants of Nostradamus. I have just seen something that proves it.

Now I know the secret. Be a coming out young man.
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.

Obviously.
But there's a difference between responding with support, and responding by asking for explanations and justifications (regarding his sexual orientation vs. his political beliefs).

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.

I really really like you!

God help me if I were to come out to a lot of my family right now...

I'd at least hope they would play "It Is Well with My Soul" at my funeral!
