Yeah not going to be a long diary. Sorry, those of you like DemocraticLuntz. But figured something like this doesn't really belong in an open thread.
As some may or may not know I wrote an inflammatory diary that while not serious with what I espoused, were hurtful to many on here. I have since deleted it, but basically I took some of the racism I saw by the LGBT community (more so elsewhere, admittedly) and basically lashed out on it and said that 8 deserved to be passed because of what I saw. It's absolutely not a view I personally hold, but I take responsibility for having said it and I deeply apologize to all friends here, gay or otherwise. I guess like many here I got caught up in the hoopla and should have learned to just walk away and shut my mouth. I failed at that and will do better in the future. Again I apologize to anyone I upset by my actions
As for the future, I would like to consider discussing prop-8 more constructively. I know a few diaries here are focused on the Mormon church or the AA community, but nothing that I've noticed about the Catholic church that was a primary fund-source for the "Yes" campaign. I'd like to do a diary about it, mostly because my own family is Catholic thus I have some agency in what I'd be saying. It probably won't be any time in the next couple of days that I write it, if I do at all (I'm not good with keeping up with things I wish to do but am not required to finish), but if anyone wants to help out in any way, feel free to point me in some direction such that I can do some useful research (rather not let it be purely from my personal experience).
Anyway there you go. Hope you forgive me and feel free to help me out.
