I wish we all had a little bit more of that for each other. I may not agree with everyone's opinion, but I do respect their opinion and understand that I'm not always going to agree with everyone.
I have a very good friend. Sometimes we are so much alike that we both swear we share a brain. We also have lived nearly parallel lives (seriously, the things we've both gone through are so similar it's scary). We also have the same name. I voted for McCain and yes on prop 8. She voted for Obama and no on prop 8. And yet, we're still friends because we both understand that we're allowed to have different opinions.
We are all different. We all believe different things. Someone HAS to be wrong, but it isn't up to us to decide who that is. I'm very grateful that I don't have to be the one to decide. I might be wrong, but I might not be. Either way, I'm going to stand up for what I believe in, and everyone else can do the same. And know you've found out what it means to me. R-E-S-P-E-C-T

I too have a very close friend (who happens to be gay) and although we have different positions on Prop 8, we both are still friends and love and respect each other. We actually have had very respectful conversations on prop 8. Aut because we are both mature adults, we are able to remain friends and respect each others beliefs.
