Had to decline an interview for the podcast yesterday because the institution held values that were in sharp misalignment with my own. I don’t platform hate. Especially as an openly gay host.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
