3. she is brave to admit she did indeed

say and write those things, claim her mistake and now move on. Which we all should do.

4. Yes, let's all move on.

Joy is a treasure. Let us not engage in anymore mudslinging prompted by trolls and the right. Support Democrats!

13. I saw it now, thanks.

I guess I have a different opinion than most here.

In the end, I suppose it won't much matter (my opinion). It will have to play out - over the course of the next few days.

Thanks!

14. Good for Joy. As a gay person, I appreciate her apology.

It's unfortunate that in the well-intentioned effort to support Joy here on DU and on other websites, the hurtful impact of the words themselves were unjustly dismissed.

I believe that this attack on Joy by digging up old posts and tweets from a decade ago was unjustified trouble-making, an effort to divide Democrats.

That said, I'm very disappointed in the many responses, here and elsewhere, that dismissed the words themselves as "nothing." Again, gay people were thrown under the bus, even while many of us were writing in support of Joy. Very disappointing.
