Reguardless

I find that sometimes personal beliefs seem to get in the way of support a lot. I'm speaking more so on the level of friendships right now than anything else. What triggered this latest rant by yours truly? Well a friend of mine was talking about one of their friends that was getting married and how it would be a sad wedding. The only "sad wedding" I could think of would maybe a the equivialnt of a shotgun wedding? I mean sad and wedding are just two words that don't really belong together especially after one another. So I was wondering how could a wedding be sad...turns out her parents were not at the wedding. Oh well that makes sense right, your rents not being at one of the most major events of your life that defiantly makes sense. But I didn't recall my friend mentioning anything recently about going to a wedding so i inquired. I don't remember you saying anything about a wedding.

Turns out they didn't go and when I asked why I was even more surprised. Turns out their friend was a lesbian. They said they just couldn't go because they didn't believe in it. My mind flew off the handle practically, not because they didn't believe in it, because that's their own thing...and their own opinion I'm not going to attack that but I think they should have at least been supportive. I mean you don't have to agree with something a friend is doign all the time but if they are happy and it's not life threatening (ie. drugs or alcoholism) then you should support your friend. I mean am I completely and utterly wrong in thinking this?
