And it was made real in no small part thanks to the bigotries evident in that piece of hate mail. They created the very thing they feared.

I feel like more gay socialist Muslims can only improve America.

The +2-3% pro-LGBT shift per year is really good news. We could only count on +1%/year in the PCUSA as a denomination overall.

on social issues, partly out of pragmatism and partly out of the sort of exposure you get when all your friends are liberals.

I am so glad to have Somali-Americans as part of the DFL. (And as part of my city and community.)

Alliances can be a weird and magical thing.
