So, I go on tumblr and find people dropping Siwon as bias like flies. Apparently, he retweeted an article about Kim Davis and her fight against issuing gay marriage licenses. People are taking this as an act of homophobia, and saying they will not support Siwon anymore because of it.

Here's the thing, did anyone actually read the article? I did.

It's an article debating the power of the supreme court and the power of the law to prosecute Christians over their religious beliefs, using the Kim Davis case an example. The article lists out points arguing against the legitimacy of Laws based solely on Supreme court decisions, and whether they should be followed.

I do have to say that the article is a bit biased in one direction, and does use some inflammatory language to back some points, but was not written for the purpose of being for or against gay marriage. Rather, it used the issue to point out flaws in the system that have allowed the government to persecute people because of their religious beliefs. It did call for people to use the issue to stand up against the ruling, which I didn't like, but that's not the point.

What we need to ask ourselves is this: What was Siwon's point in retweeting this article?

What is he supporting? The argument about the Supreme court's power to pass laws, and the legitimacy of the governments' power to prosecute people for defying them based on religion? Or, was it to support the anti gay marriage points sprinkled within?

Considering that Siwon posted support for the USA's progress when the gay marriage ruling was passed, I'd like to believe that he was making a point against persecution of others, not an homophobic one.

But, this is only how I interpreted it.

The Kim Davis fight is complex and has many sides to it. We have to analyze it in accordance to the laws currently in place, and not based off our own opinions and beliefs. I think that the article's intention was to do just that, but went askew in multiple ways because the author kept interjecting his own opinions into the facts and analysis.

I don't think people should be bailing on Siwon over one retweet that most of them didn't take the time to read, or interpret with a clear unbiased thought pattern. Take time to analyze the situation, then make an informed decision on your own. Don't jump on the bandwagon of rumors and outrage without taking time to read and form your own opinion. I am neither defending, nor condemning him. I'm only pointing out that people should think for themselves before making a decision.

That's all...,
