Living out loud: On being the epicenter of everyday change

For those who have never heard of him, he is the first openly gay bishop of the Episcopal church and the author of several books including his latest, God Believes in Love: Straight Talk about Gay Marriage.

Rape culture is built, one block at a time
May 30, 2013
Anyone who follows my twitter and Facebook feeds already knows that I am having a moment with Kate Elliot’s post The Problem with ‘Boys will be boys’. To say I love this post is an understatement.

May 12, 2013
