perhaps you could change your behaviour instead of giving out that elaborate apology

4 Examples of What a Genuine “I’m Sorry” Looks Like

Nothing is worse than an empty apology.

Except perhaps being in a relationship with someone whose apologies have become absurd…laughable, even. You know what I mean, those fake apologies that either serve as a layer of spackle, enforce gaslighting, or are a haughty and blatant justification of someone’s wrongdoing.

It’s all surface-level hoopla that lacks the substance and specifics you really…

Lady Susan Hussey quits over remarks to charity boss Ngozi Fulani - BBC News

A palace aide steps down over remarks made to Ngozi Fulani at a reception hosted by the Queen Consort.

In this instance, unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments have been made. We have reached out to Ngozi Fulani on this matter, and are inviting her to discuss all elements of her experience in person if she wishes.

"In the meantime, the individual concerned would like to express her profound apologies for the hurt caused and has stepped aside from her honorary role with immediate effect.

"All members of the household are being reminded of the diversity and inclusivity policies which they are required to uphold at all times."

you're not sorry

I really wasn't mad when you canceled our netflix date. you said "He wants to go to the bar to watch the end of the game. There's only like 15 minutes left so we probably wont be there long. I'll still text you during the game." I told you it was up to you and I meant it, I wasn't trying to make you pick sides. But then you didn't text me until over 20 minutes later and said "Sorry about tonight" but the game was already over by the time you even got there and now you're just drinking and talking to some guy you happened to run into there that you went to high school with and hardly texting me at all. You don't really have the right to say sorry because you CHOSE to go instead of keep plans with me. I don't care that you chose that but now the entire situation has changed and you're trying to say sorry for a decision you chose to make. You weren't forced to go, you weren't obligated. You don't have the right to say sorry and I'm pissed about that and only that.

Oh no

Don't apologize for something you're not actually sorry about. And don't apologize for something you're not going to change.

When people say reckless things

“The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them.” -- Maya Angelou

Recently, a Mississippi state representative used his Facebook account as a platform to express his belief that gays and lesbians should be killed. The representative, Mr. Andy Gibson, is refusing to apologize…and why should he. A petition on Change.org is calling for Mr. Gipson to apologize and meet with Unity MS and the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition. Quite frankly, I don't care for his apology. It would be empty and useless.

Meeting with advocacy groups such as Unity MS and the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition are things a representative of the people should do willingly, not for a photo op as an act of contrition.

Now, don’t misunderstand me, what Rep. Gipson said is deplorable, but it’s his right to say it and he meant it. If he apologizes for the statement the sentiment is not expunged from the records. His opinions will not have changed. He will still think gay and lesbian people should be killed.

I am tired of petitions asking homophobes, racists, etc to apologize and meet with a group or coalition. Let's just get them out of elected office and any positions of power. I don't need hollow apologies. I need you out of office. If you can't respect the principles of this country and progress, you need to be at home not dictating policy.

Rep. Gipson has shown us who he is and we should believe him. His website says he stands on the principles of integrity, leadership, and vision. He defines integrity as “doing the right thing even when it isn't the easiest path.” For him leadership means simply listing positions he has held. Vision is working alongside other leads to help “cast a positive vision for the future, for our children and grandchildren.”

Mr. Gipson’s statements run unabashedly counter to his supposed values. There is nothing visionary about invoking the word of God to call for the deaths of innocent citizens, some of whom are the constituents he was elected to represent. There is no difficulty in spouting hate for gays and lesbians in one of the most conservative states, where the legislature and citizenry often actively work to limit the rights of gay and lesbian Mississippians. Although, Mr. Gipson can now say he is the leader of reckless legislators, fulfilling his view of leadership. More importantly, there is nothing Christian about his statements.

I am tired of “Christians” imposing their beliefs on the rest of us. From my years in a Southern Baptist church, I don’t remember anyone teaching me that God wants me to kill someone. In fact, a commandment from God says, ‘Thou shall not kill.” Church teaches that no man has the right or ability to stand in judgment of anyone.

It is clear from his statements that Mr. Gipson cannot be an effective representative and an apology will not change that. Mr. Gipson has the right to believe what he wants, no matter how deplorable. However, he has made it clear he cannot uphold the basic principles of this country. He does not respect the citizens he is sworn to represent. As a public servant you don’t have the luxury of only representing the people you like. Your job is to do what is best for all citizens, even the ones you don’t like.

Mr. Gipson will not fulfill this difficult duty, despite what his website says. The only petition that needs signatures is the one demanding Mr. Gipson’s immediate resignation.

Let’s stop asking for insincere apologies and instead start asking for resignations.

Contact information for Rep. Gipson is listed on his bio page for the Mississippi legislature. Click on the Gipson Biography link below.

UPDATE: There is a petition on Change.org asking Gipson to step down. I have signed it and you should too.
