One Town's War on Gay Teens | Rolling Stone →
Like many 13-year-olds, Brittany knew seventh grade was a living hell. But what she didn’t know was that she was caught in the crossfire of a culture war being waged by local evangelicals inspired by their high-profile congressional representative Michele Bachmann, who graduated from Anoka High School and, until recently, was a member of one of the most conservative churches in the area. When...

Quote from the article:
But that isn’t stopping L.A. communities from fighting for unity/homogeny. Like in the state- and countywide redistricting battles, race has come to the forefront of the argument — with some minorities insisting that in order to be fairly represented by their local politicians, the lines of their official districts need to represent the natural lines of their...
Anonymous asked: Hi Tim, I just want to let you know that I read your novel Slant this summer and found it very enjoyable. I believe that you've touched on many issues found within the intersection of identifying as both Asian American and LGBT.

If you are in Shanghai, come to this party. In addition to lots of alcohol and rowdy expat (post-pats, as some call themselves), this event features a poetry slam contest, which is great fun.
The book itself is a collection of 13 short stories. I’m glad to be included in it.
