So Lately It has come to my attention that there has been some confusion regarding my views on gay rights and the LGBT community. I would like to take the time to type up another journal to clear some things up.


I am a supporter of the LGBT community, I am a supporter of Gay Rights. I am in no way homophobic, or any variation of the sort.


Some of you may be wondering why i am posting this, it is regarding a mistake that i had made a couple of years ago.

About 4 years ago, i posted a really nasty shout it out, which is in point the central cause of the confusion. It was followed by a journal explaining my views and how i felt at the time, and I had stated that i had considered myself homophobic, as well as making a couple of extremely inappropriate racial comments and opinions.

With a heavy heart, i strongly regret everything that i said, and everything that i did involving that stupid submission that i posted. I was young, and didnt have a full understanding of how amazing the community really is. I was raised in an extremely conservative home, where the mention of anything homosexual or out of the norm resulted in punishment. My views were brought up to me in a negative way, and once i was exposed to the gay community, i realized that everything that i was taught, everything that my parents had told me was wrong. And how they were able to make me honestly believe and think the way they did is absolutely disgusting. It was actually thanks to the furry fandom, that i was able to learn more about the gay community, and realize that what i was doing wasnt right at all. I realize what i had done is vile, and i feel disgusting about it every single time that i hear or see the word 'homophobic'. If i had any way of going back,  i would have never made myself create that submission, or all of the hurtful things that came along with it.

It is not in my intention in the slightest to offend anyone. And i would just like to again sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart if i have personally upset or hurt you guys. Every single one of you are amazing, and incredible people, who have been nothing but a positive influence on my life. And i am so grateful that i found you guys when i did.

The post has long been taken down, even though it has been circulating around on other sites. I just want you guys to know that what is said on that submission, is not how i feel today, or have felt for a very long time.

hey guys


I didnt plan on vanishing like i did for the past month or two, and i dont want to spill out a bunch of personal information onto here, so i'll just keep it short and say its been rough. I've never been one to take a hiatus and its very strange, but i will be pretty much gone for who knows how long until i can get my life sorted out and situated. Its becoming a jumbled mess. this happened very suddenly and i had not planned on it at all. I apologize greatly, and will not put anymore on my plate until i have everything situated, and am back from my hiatus. 

I hope everyone is doing well, I'll catch y'all all later. and just in case im not back, happy thanksgiving/christmas/new years/ whatever holiday

Cheers
