It has been over four years since Wendy and I found out that Jordan was gay.  Three wards, two states and a persistent search for a ward family to call home.  I have documented our experience in

The day after the news of the new LDS Church policies on gay families hit social media, I prayed.

Yes, the news was devastating to me and to so, so many in the LGBT Mormon community. In

J.K. Rowling has spent years using her platform to oppose trans rights. Now, one of the people representing her in the Scottish Parliament is a transgender, nonbinary politician.

Dr. Q Manivannan was elected as a Scottish Green MSP for Edinburgh and Lothians East. MSP stands for Member of the Scottish Parliament, similar to a state legislator in the U.S.

Manivannan and Iris Duane are now Scotland’s first openly transgender members of Parliament.

The irony is hard to ignore. Rowling lives in Edinburgh, and two of her new representatives are exactly the kind of people her politics have so often targeted.

Dr. Pam Gosal, a Conservative politician praised by Rowling and known for her extreme anti-trans politics, lost her seat. And instead, the Scottish voters sent two trans people into Parliament.

After the election, Rowling did not celebrate Scotland’s first trans MSPs. Instead, she reposted praise for Gosal as a “staunch defender of women’s rights” and added, “Hear, hear.”

Manivannan did not avoid the moment. In their victory speech, they introduced themself as “a transgender Tamil immigrant” and said they are “everything that the hateful despise,” but were standing there now as an MSP “with care.”

The Sorting Hat must be sweating.

In 1997, daytime TV wasn’t built for this conversation—and Oprah Winfrey knew it.

Oprah Winfrey sat across from fear, faith, and backlash—and chose clarity. As the country debated Ellen DeGeneres coming out, Oprah said plainly that people are created as they are and deserve dignity.

It wasn’t a safe thing to say at the time, which is exactly why it is still being talked about today.
