It seems that Siwon's stance on gay marriage may have ruffled a few feathers. The idol star re-tweeted posts by John Piper, a pastor who upholds "traditional" marriage, but he ended up apologizing for the re-tweets in question. Siwon posted on September 12, "I deeply apologize for many of you who've been hurt by the re-tweets I posted today."

He continued, "I re-tweeted a source that has another opinion about legalizing gay marriage. However, I belatedly realized that this was not just a matter of posting a source's opinion after reading many tweets sent to me. My thoughtless tweets hurt a lot of people, and I'm humbled by the fact that I gave pain to a lot of fans, staff, and everyone else. I would like to communicate and learn more in the future. Again, I apologize to everyone I hurt with my re-tweets."

What are your thoughts on this issue?
