Hi Abe,
> if you can tell me that you strongly support equal LGBT rights and freedoms
I do. Of course I do. The freedom to choose is one of my most important tenets. I am opposed to taking that freedom away from law-abiding individuals.
I may not agree with or condone everyone's choices or lifestyles -- just as they may not agree with mine -- but that is the point of having freedom (and/or moral agency, whatever you want to call it).
You are allowed to campaign for what you believe in: you can tell people to stay away from our company because I'm a part of it, but there are people who will disagree with you, too. It's just how it goes. There's always somebody who will disagree, somebody who will not support your own agenda. I spent two years of my life -- 24/7, in a place I had never been before nor been since -- trying to teach people what I believe and to convince them to change their lives. It's hard. Ask any missionary, ask any activist. People sometimes just aren't ready to agree, or aren't in a place to understand such that they CAN feasibly agree.
Sorry that you have (had?) to feel a bit divided by what you and I believe. Hopefully the next time you meet a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints you can confidently smile knowing that you have a friend in them.
