In reply to the discussion: To LGBT on DU [View all]MineralMan
(146,286 posts)it would have been taken in a way I did not intend. I shouldn't have posted it at all. I should have realized that, no matter how ridiculous I made it, some would take it as an attack on marriage equality, rather than a mocking of those who oppose it.
I saw that many understood my intent, but many did not. I should have anticipated that, but did not. That's why I self-deleted the post this morning. It was not my intent to offend anyone except for those who use stupid arguments to oppose marriage equality.
It was a failed satire. I'm sorry I posted it and offended people. That was never my intention.
The past is always with us. I've apologized for my failure to understand in the past. That apology is sincere. Since then, I have taken steps to support marriage equality and other LGBT issues in a public way and those efforts have produced some results. That's why I refer to the link to the DFL precinct site I maintain. That is what I am doing now. What I wrote in some thread in 2004 is behind me. I was wrong, as I point out in the apology in my journal. That apology is posted in this thread. I learned. I changed. I'm working to support issues, as a means of making the apology real.
I cannot change the past. I can only move forward.
