Sorry, Tolstoy, what do you mean that General Davout tore out men’s mustaches?? What does that mean?! How long does your mustache have to be for someone to be able to pull it out?

Hi, everyone. I really don't know where I should put this post or where it belongs but I don't really know where else to put it. So I'm sorry! If anybody wants it removed I can do that if you just ask! A couple weeks to months ago I posted something asking for a recommendation for books. It ended up blowing into this whole thing because some people felt that I was unfairly excluding the LGBTQ+ community by asking for books that excluded those characters and I wanted to say that I'm sorry that I posted that. It wasn't nice of me to do that and I was being extremely immature with how I responded to some of your comments. While my beliefs haven't changed, I shouldn't have done that and I know it hurt a lot of you. When I look back on it now I cringe with how I acted. I'm really sorry, everyone. I wanted to directly message the people who originally commented as to not bother the rest of PB, but since we don't have that, I didn't know where else to post. Another thing is that most of you guys were being very kind and understanding and, at the time, I didn't grasp onto that. I'm truly sorry, you guys!

Hi, everybody. Right after I posted this I had to go, so I just got back on and saw all the comments. I didn't think how it would disrespect the LGBTQ+ community if I posted it during Pride month because I had been thinking on it for weeks, and had time and the opportunity to post. A lot of people are also commenting about the fact that I said that it still doesn't align with my beliefs. I said that because I didn't want to be deceitful and make it sound like I had now accepted it. I understand that my apology might not do anything to fix the situation, but I wanted to do something to at least try to. ( I can delete the post by the end of the day or tomorrow morning so people can see my edit).
