It's not wrong to see gray areas and acknowledge that neither side has it completely right, but it's also not wrong to stand for something firmly. I don't accept gray areas when it comes to my sexual orientation and desire to be treated like anyone else. My humanity isn't up for debate. But when it comes to something like abortion, I understand the ways in which the issue is messy and it's not as simple as "all or nothing". Sometimes compromise is necessary and sometimes compromising is unacceptable (e.g. "separate but equal" was a compromise and it was a failure). I don't have all the answers to which issue falls under which category, but that's what life is for--figuring that out.
