Regarding DA Journal entry |

So, I posted an entry a little while ago regarding my political and social positions and was told that it seriously hurt many people who read it. On that same note, I did not mean for that message to have me come off as the hateful, close-minded person I was told it made me seem like. Also, it was not an attack on the people/supporters of the ideals mentioned, but was just the positions I took on the issues. As for this, and I say this in the nicest way possible, but just because I will say I don't support or agree with something, does not mean I will go and passionately hate on said issues or supporters of said issues, I think that hate and disagreeing are two totally different issues. Continuing on, I will correct myself on two of the issues I pointed out:
I do not support Barack Obama because I am a conservative Republican, a common reason for those who don't. However, he is our President now and I will support him to an extent, but I still don't agree with some(but not all)of his propositions. Also, I have noticed that a lot of his supporters are very adamant about his work(I mean, who wouldn't after Bush?), but I am still open to the idea that it is possible for mistakes to be made, but that doesn't mean he won't be a bad President.
I do not support gay marriage. I really want to emphasize that I believe love can be between anyone, no matter what their sex, and love comes on different levels, but I believe the kind of love that goes into a marriage ought to be shared between a man and woman. A reson for my thinking this way is I live with two parents who have been married 20+ years, and are still madly in love with each other, which is why I think the man-woman love level in a marriage is so precious. I was also raised with a homosexual aunt who I have heard her talk about her failed relationships where love couldn't even exist anymore.
In closing, these are my opinions, and I hope whoever is reading can respect them. I am not asking you to agree, just please respect that my opinons and thinking may be different, and are not meant to cause anger or demonstrate hatred on any level whatsoever. As for my religion, that discussion causes problems and I am not going to talk about it because no one wants to hear about it. I have learned a lesson, and from now on, when it comes to these issues, I found that it is best not to present my opinion and to keep my mouth shut.
P.S. I apologize to anyone I may have insulted in that entry, and that I respect every side of the arguments.
