Hope & Politics: "You spend a lot of time with your stomach in a knot."

By Diane Silver

My new Hope and Politics column takes on the issues of depression, terror and other emotional "joys" about being involved in lesbian and gay political causes.
When you’re gay and working on LGBT issues, you spend a lot of time with your stomach in a knot. ...Saying the right thing to a reporter can make the difference between a law that helps a lesbian keep her child and a law that takes him away. It can mean that a gay man can get health insurance from his partner’s employer or lose access to health care completely.

The column is up at Camp KC and will be coming out in the August issue of the Liberty Press.
